"Gidget Anne"

Gidget Anne is a beautiful Leonberger. The Leonberger is a giant dog breed, whose name derives from the city of Leonberg in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. According to legend, the Leonberger was ostensibly bred as a "symbolic dog" that would mimic the lion in the town coat of arms.

This lady, so regal in countenance, shows her gentle but strong  personality through her eyes.  Greatly loved by her family, she gave them great love in return. I am so happy to do this portrait of her and I know it will grace their home giving the family many hours of joy knowing that she is watching over them and it will be a painting that will be the basis of conversation, stories and pleasant memories.
