JAKE



JAKE
Nancy Herman
6" x 8"
oil on canvas board

When we first got Jake from a shelter with his buddy Bay we thought he was a mixed breed of some sort but one day I came accross a picture of a dog that looked exactly like he does and it turns out he is a Korean mountain dog  or Jindo.  The Jindo is the 53rd national treasure of Korea noted for their loyalty and intelligence.
Bay is a shy Chocolate Lab but they make a wonderful pair who are a constant delight.  They are devoted to each other, but have entirely different personalities.  Maybe you can tell from this painting of Bay how they differ.



MORNING SUN AND BAY

On my morning walks these past few days I am greeted at the end of your driveway by Jake, giving me a crisp "Hello."
These are beautiful paintings, as usual, Nancy.
Saw Tim today. He invited us back in the fall.
