He was a French artist who was a leading painter in the

"Rooster"
oil on canvas - 6"x6"
animal art
I moved this past year, back to an old neighborhood I use to
live in, where everybody goes for walks and usually with at
least one dog. This is one of the neighbors, I often see,
with her little dog who patiently waits for her while she
stops to chat with friends.
