8″x10″ acrylic, 2012. Thank goodness that I sometimes remember to bring business cards to the playground! While at our local park with Sonja last fall, we met Juliette and her very sweet five-year-old daughter Jenna. Jenna was very kind and big-sisterly to my little-er one, and Julliette and I had a nice chat. And then this spring, just before embarking upon a huge move to Pennsylvania, Julliette commissioned this portrait for Jenna’s upcoming July birthday. Jenna’s floppy pup JoJo has been by her side since babyhood. He’s been lost a couple of times and had several stitches and re-stuffings. He’s even made a few appearances at Jenna’s kindergarten this year! I’m sure JoJo has been a great source of comfort during the family’s move… best of luck to Juliette and Jenna in their new home!
