‘… I’ve been meaning to write to you anyway to say that my older dog Tasha is getting pretty old.

She’s blind, deaf, senile.  She has a good  appetite and so far her hips are holding out.  But the reason I was going to write to you was to say that now that she’s no longer the dog I  knew, having the painting of her that you did of a couple years ago reminds me of the way she was.

People might say that photos can do the  same thing, but I think your painting really captured the essence of her that a photo doesn’t.’
