Dogs for the Deaf has given me permission to use photos of their dogs to create dog portraits. What a treat to use some of their darling pictures. I am donating a dog portrait "Topher" for their unlimited use. I am having so much fun painting from their dogs that I may be painting more. They are thanking me, but really I feel like I am the one who is being blessed—funny how that works.

Brothers—Kyle and EJ Singler. Kyle Singler is now a senior at Duke and EJ Singler is a sophomore at University of Oregon, both continuing in some amazing basketball.
