Tessa sheds more than just fluff all year.
Soft fur and warm personality best describe Tessa, a big ball of fun-loving fluff who loves the outdoors. Her gentle eyes and wagging tail make every day brighter.
While her long coat does shed everywhere, it’s just a reminder that she is always hovering or hoovering around as the case may be! She knows how to melt anyone's heart with her big brown eyes, but especially so when a treat might come her way.
Like most dogs, she is a cozy addition to her family, a loyal companion, and a constant source of laughter and joy.
And what’s a little fur compared to all those gifts?

Dear Louise I love your description of Tessa and of course the your glass paintings too. Stay well my dear friend!!!!
Thank you Birgit. Here’s to another year of inspiration and creativity for both of us! 👍💐
Hi Louise, I’m probably repeating myself, but you do do such a great job with these, it is one thing to paint on paper or canvas but to paint on glass is a totally different thing.
You are so kind! Painting on glass is not so different than on other substrates. I always start with a few coats of gesso which helps the acrylic adhere to the glass so the process is similar to painting on wood or canvas. But I allow myself a lot more freedom to use wild colours and sparkle. This one is in more traditional colours. Thanks for stopping by Sally.
