… no matter when; no matter how good or bad the day might be; my faithful studio companion is always right beside me. No, not another artist, my small and furry CEO.Aw, you gotta love him! He watches my every move. (In case I want to go for a walk!)

I am nearing the end of a rather long job; he’s waited patiently every day of it. It has lasted much longer than anything else I’ve ever done and he was right there with me. He’s been company when there was none; a reason to take a break – whether I thought I needed it or not – he was there to remind me.

He hates having pictures taken of him, but he’ll pose for a sketch. He’s a valued owner/employee!
