Original artwork description:

Gracie spends her days behind the counter at the local bike shop. The first time I was there she popped her head up, gave me this doleful look, leaned over and licked my hand. I was completely charmed. Her owner, Mary, says Gracie follows her around like a toddler - that is how devoted she is. How can any creature have such innocence and sweetness?

I knew I had to celebrate Gracie, and here is the result.

Materials used:
