Companions

     Well, maybe not "great" companions. Because according to my sister, who is the lucky owner of these guys, they are a little jealous of each other. 

     Jacky, the Chihuahua, has small, red-and-blue tennis balls in all stages of wear that she finds and brings to people.  She has learned that if she brings a ball and sits up that they are more inclined to throw it. Then the chase is on. Sasha, the Japanese Chin, couldn't care less and is depicted doing what she does best.  

     Bill Bonham, owner of Bill Bonham's Art Panels and Frames, framed the artwork for me. I think he did a great job. 
     Although he has extensive work experience with all types of framing, he likes to specialize in floating frames. Notice the blue shadow line around the picture frame. Being an artist himself, Bill says that he can match any color requested. I tested this statement and asked for "Provence Blue." I think he nailed it. Although, looking back, that color challenge might have been too simple. I will be more inventive next time. 
     You can test Bill's skill at matching color requests too. You will find Bill either framing or painting in Dickerson, TX. His web address and phone numbers are:
