Beans as he is called is a cat of a coworker. Brilliant and very paintable he is. I am thinking baout starting this painting after I get through with a couple of christmas commissions. Today I got a load of interest because of my very cool classmate who brought in my painting after having it framed. It is quite amazing how a relatively simple frame can really boost a picture up past the just casual pet portrait. The weiner dog portrait was beautiful as it stood in a large frame. I am going to have to consider this in the future for my paintings. It increases their value by so much I would be a fool not to.
