Finishing up my current rope painting (I say painting out of habit but actually these current works are more painting/collage/installation, maybe?) and paused for a photo shoot with Obi, my 13 year old chihuahua/schipperke rescued 12 years ago from a Georgia pound. He has moved with us to Ireland and back, into and out of 14 homes, and traversed up and down countless mountains. He is more than a loyal buddy, he is truly family with a bright beautiful soul.
