Cats and Dogs

I think my favorite things to put on these envelopes is animals.  I've had lots of fun with these next two envelopes.  Both for good friends that we met in Russia and are animal lovers.  These are pictures of their specific pets.  It seemed that as I painted these beautiful creatures, I somehow became acquainted with them (I've not met either animal).  I hope they are as nice as they were in my virtual sitting during our painting session!
