Pet Pride: portrait of a pampered pet


Portrait of Lindy by well-known Canadian plein air artist Aleta Karstad. Lindy's mom commissioned the portrait as a gift for Lindy's dad.

Pet Pride
hosted by Lindy's friend Bozo and his family
at their Pets Forever blog in Mumbai, India.
Lindy says, "Hi there, Bozo. Isn't this a wonderful surprise?
I didn't even know my mom's friend Aleta was painting a picture of me.
I didn't have to sit still to pose for it or anything.
She painted it from a photograph, and it looks just like me."
