Blue
About nine years ago I was feeling homesick and sad. I sat outside in the hot August sun and out of nowhere a scruffy dog appeared. He was skinny and covered with fleas but he was filled with the brightest spirit I've ever seen. I looked for his owner but never found one, he was obviously homeless. My home became his home, and he filled my home and heart with so much sweetness and love. He gave me so much more than I could ever give him. I was so grateful that he shared his life with me. And just as suddenly as he appeared that hot August day he disappeared from my life just as suddenly. November 2018 was when he left this life and moved into his new life. I will forever miss Oliver and he will always be in my heart. Oliver inspired this painting.
