Mellie with her good friend Candy on a snowy outing. (The 2 other girlfriends who were present were in the background, not shown here). Candy is Mellie’s oldest friend in Salzburg. She was along on our trip to Hungary where we first picked Mellie out and she gave her approval. We four were on an enjoyable walk on a gray day. But the photo was too gray so I added some colorful ducks. This painting was a struggle. Lesson learned: never paint a white dog in the snow!
