[Morris Darby]

(..and I came in second in the third grade spelling bee!)

I painted a lot of animals last year. I don't know how the customers got the idea. I have nothing in my literature indicating I would do animals. From Christmas 2000 to May 2001 I painted 15 pet portraits. After that, I haven't had one request. Funny how that works.

Here is one I particularly liked. My canvas was propped too high and I don't know how to crop a stretched canvas.
