And well done Gary for going the extra mile (or several) to get it for you. Your commissions are brilliantly done. I have often thought of trying to paint my neighbours black Lab but find the all-over blackness quite daunting. If I could do half as well as you I'd be a very happy chappy. ;)John (JWJarts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17802012611212667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460211348866060184.post-77657363119484940472012-12-29T21:18:21.629+00:002012-12-29T21:18:21.629+00:00I especially love the Springer commission, but all...I especially love the Springer commission, but all your works are very good!
