the escaped con

Just one of the many expressions of my pug, Charlie . I never get tired of using him as a subject since he is ever willing to be in front of the camera.

He had this look on his face when he saw me carrying Gizmo, a ferret, which he longs to play with but unfortunately we can’t permit him as Charlie might accidentally kill the smaller ferrets (I have two) because at times he plays pretty rough.

Still Life

Reproduced Still Life by my father-in-law. This is one of my favorite works of him which is beautifully displayed in our living room. I love the window reflection, can you see it?
A small piece of the frame showing at the right lower part and father-in-law’s initial “JS” at the right side as well.
F.I.L. never had any formal lesson in painting, he relied solely on his imagination and pictures of what he wanted to paint.
