I am not sure if many people remember, but several years back I put out a post about one of my dogs swallowing a rock. He had extensive and very costly surgery to have it to removed. The vet had given me the rock in a little plastic bag saying it was too valuable for him to discard. So I kept it. I always had the intention of finding someone to paint his picture on it. Several months ago I approached Judy Gates who is a very accomplished artist. She was not used to doing art work on something that was small. But I do believe she was fascinated by the challenge. The rock (which is flat and about 1 inch in size) along with several pictures were sent to her with the understanding that I would put no pressure on her. The painted rock arrived today (in a huge secure box along with the photographs ). She did the most magnificent job, the likeness is astounding. For what it is worth, do not let Judy's strong personality get in the way of her talent. She is a gem as far as her knowledge in capturing and understanding the breed. And she was more than reasonable in her pricing. I am not meaning for this to sound like an advertisement, but I could not be more pleased that it was her I approached for doing this wonderful little painting for me.
