JODIE

As you can see I also like to work in other mediums. This is a pencil drawing of another friend, Medie Robinson's, golden retriever, Jodie.

Jodie was probably 10 when this drawing was done. She was not overly happy to be posed for photographs but eventually it all worked out. I had her in a chair looking out the window and she just naturally dropped her head and rested her chin on the arm of the chair gazing at the world going by outside. Her soulful expression was captured and her gentle soul realized.

Jodie was quite the character and reknowned for her resounding "whooohoo's" upon greeting you. Jodie passed the torch of "whoohooing" onto a younger member of the household after passing on a year and half ago.

Jodie was an old soul with the most beautiful eyes. I couldn't pass on the chance to do this drawing.

As an aside, prints of this drawing were given as gifts to all of the entrants at the inaugural Master National held here in Ontario several years ago.
