Friday Face Off hosted by Nicole of DVArtist...

This is a digital sketch of my dear friend Margie. We lost her last year and it was very sad. I especially loved her snow white hair and the smile she always wore.

It seems easy to guess why, when we have a cold and become hoarse we will say "I'VE GOT A FROG IN MY THROAT". Surprisingly, this wasn't inspired by the croaking sound of a cold-sufferer's voice, but by a weird medical practice. "In the Middle Ages, infections such as thrush were sometimes treated by putting a live frog head first into the patient's mouth; by inhaling, the frog was believed to draw the patient's infection into its own body. The treatment is happily obsolete, but its memory survives in the 19th century term frog in one's throat."

LIL STINKER SKEETER...07-06-2025

BABY SKEETER AT 11 WEEKS

SKEETER AT 5 MOS.

SKEETER AT 6 MOS

Frankie and I are both missing Skeeter. He has gone to a dog trainer for four weeks. I cannot visit him for quite some time but the trainer promised me some photos and updates. I dare not ask about how the pup reacted to the Fourth of July fireworks. Frankie did not do well but never does. The bombs and flashes scare her to death and she dives under the bed. It makes me very hopeful that Skeeter responded well but probably did not...all lonely in a wooden crate, in a strange place, visiting with new friends...

Skeeter was a terrible child and needed to go for training. However, he was also a precious little boy who looked at me with sad eyes every time he did something wrong.

I go through the house without him and see all the damage he has left behind. You would never believe all the things he destroyed. A few antiques...blankets...robes...shredded string...boxes of kleenex...three dozen eggs (shells and all)...he ate two AC filters...Skeeter managed to eat two fly kill refills. He always waited for me to get out of the shower which I allowed until I stepped out and into fresh dog poop.

The first week of training is over. Frankie and Skeeter played hard and I do sense that Frankie is missing the pup too. We have three weeks to go.

FRIDAY FACE OFF...06-13-2025

I accepted by JKPP (Julia Kay Portrait Party) in 2010. My only medium at that time was Marker Art and I called them Markerings. This man was the first I painted and he was loved by all and was the first in our group to pass away.
