Trash to Flash....a Transformation

Flash 8"x10"  acrylic on hardboard 6/20/16
This painting is of a dog named Flash.  He lives with my sister and brother-in-law in Minnesota.  He has had a dubious life in his early years and when my sister first got him he was named Trash.  He was a street dog and a vagabond.  His first owner traveled on boxcars and hitchhiked across the United States.  He is now eating regular meals, has a comfortable Minnesota home to live in and loving owners who have changed his name to Flash.  He still has a ragtag look about him, tattered ears and two colored eyes that are disconcerting until you get to know him.  Once you do get to know Flash, you will find that he has the sweetest disposition and is a pleaser.
