Waiting For My Buddy, 7 by 9 inch original oil painting.

He was "leashed" to the door so I knew that he wasn't a stray. To purchase contact Carol at carolhein@sbcglobal.net Visit my website carolhein.com

My daughter-in-law and I enjoyed a great conversation, coffee and a sweet roll at a local farmer's market on a recent Saturday. The whole time this fellow texted while his lady friend tried to carry on a one sided conversation. As you can tell from her body language, she was not a happy camper.
