Meet my grand-doggie Charlie!

So today I had a wonderful brunch with my two daughters and my sister to celebrate our birthdays, and I planned to take pictures of the girls and the view for today's blip.  Got home, and whoops, I forgot.  So I thought I'd share the start of my new painting of Charlie, my daughter's dog who also is celebrating his 1st birthday this week!  (That's five birthdays for us in 2 weeks.) Just rough sketched him in to get a start. I think painting snow and a happy dog will be great fun!
