The girls - artistic portraits

This is a watercolour of River standing on the Lake Superior beach last summer, while visiting Grand Marais Minnesota. I love this photo of River so felt inspired to do something artsy with it. River looks so feminine, yet is a very imposing looking German Shepherd. One corner of her mouth is curled up in a mischevious smile.

And this is my other girl, Jet, retrieving a stick from the cold waters of Lake Superior. I love this photo of Jet because it captures everything about her - her determination and the effort she puts into her work. See how her eyes are squinted shut as she hauls this big stick out of the water! She thinks she is much bigger than her 35 pounds.
