Lucy

My nephew, Jack, bought Lucy at the flea market, "dog days" in north Alabama for $6.00.  The salesman wanted $30.00 because he said Lucy was "a full blood Spaniard".  The one time I went to dog days I did not see one person for sale.

The story of Lucy's purchase is great and so is she.  She has the prettiest eyes I have ever seen on a dog.  She has brought so much happiness to my sister's family that I decided to paint her for their wedding anniversary.  She is painted on a 10 x 10 x 2" canvas.
