Both Ends of the Brush - 002: Kyra & Me Thin canvas

I painted this while I was living in a recovery room with Kyra, 24/7, for four months. She'd just had a complete hip replacement. There was no "checking on her between things" — I was on that floor with her, every day, for four months straight. That's her and me in the rain, under one umbrella, and I painted it that way because that's exactly what those four months felt like. Not a single bad night — a whole season of them. I couldn't fix her hip. I couldn't speed up healing that only time was going to do. All I could do was stay in the storm with her, for as long as it took. This one isn't a commission or a nomination. It's what came out of me during one of the hardest stretches I've been through with a dog I love. Kyra's been on the other end of my leash for years — this is what that actually looks like when it gets hard, not the version people usually show. Every print sold goes straight to Legacy Paws Rescue, funding the dogs who are still waiting for someone to hold their leash too. Style rooms with this slimmer-than-ever thin canvas!
