Unconditional Love

Its a beautiful painting Jan .. not sure if its only dogs who give unconditional love (I've had a couple of cats who fit the bill) but you've really captured a beautiful soft moment here .
Thanks, Sue. I've since gone back to clean up some edges that I didn't notice before posting and I'll let it sit a while longer before deciding it's finished!
The reason I didn't include cats or horses in the unconditional love statement is that both are very food oriented and just "love" the one who feeds them. For instance, I've heard of cats insisting their dead owners get up and feed them while a dog will lie with the body as long as it can. It sounds really gross but supposedly cats will feed on their dead owners if no one comes to feed them. And yes, I've been a cat owner and have the utmost love and respect for them!
Hi Jan,
You captured that feeling perfectly. It's a wonderful painting.
Oh... and Happy Fall!
