I finally finished my trade with Christine Ries.  Quite awhile back, I was interested in acquiring two of Christine's dog portraits for my mom-in-law and daughter for last year Christmas gifts so I asked Christine if she would do a trade with me.  Two dog portraits for two houses.  She agreed to do it and she did a great job with them and also got them to me in time for Christmas.  So it was my turn to do my end of the deal and Christine asked me if I could do an image of her house and I agreed too.  Her house was not the typical type of house I would choose, but I always like to do things that are out of my comfort zone because it helps me see things from a different angle.  It is the image that you see here.  The previous image is the other house, and the image before that is "Holly" one of the dog portraits she did.  And I still have to take a picture of "Ziggy" .
