Watercolor over graphite
Meet Go-Go.
I created this small painting of Go-Go the poodle as a thank you for special friends Betty Jo, Vic, and naturally, Go-Go. The three helped my husband Robert and me when our truck was in for unexpected maintenance in Boise, ID, during our recent big trip. We had a hole in our radiator; ouch!
We met Betty Jo and Vic about 20 years ago when we were in Madrid, Spain. We were staying in the same hotel and would meet for afternoon drinks after siesta. Vic and Betty Jo were teachers. Robert and I were living in Germany at the time; I was in the Army and Robert an Army spouse.
Over the years we maintained the friendship through annual Christmas cards, always intending to meet again. And, then our truck broke down in their home town.
We called them up and explained our situation. We were treated to three wonderful days of camaraderie. We enjoyed their town. We talked and caught up on 20 years of travel and adventure. Such generosity!
It was amazing; thank you Betty Jo, Vic and, naturally, Go-Go the poodle. Go-Go was politeness through out the visit.
