“Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”

My daughter sent me a photo she took while living in Paris.  She and her husband just finished their dinner and Lo and behold!  Here’s a dog sitting by itself at next table perfectly comfortable in its own skin.  I made this painting somewhat comical and totally having fun about the whole thing.

Note the table setting:  in front of the dog there’s a wine glass and a fork, on the other side there’s a glass with knife and fork!

It’s a true story!   Paris, France
