Au clair de la lune, mon amie Luna. My new best friend for a few wonderful years, Luna is a pumpkin pup. Here are some of the moments I have captured and cherished most.

Luna at Long Lake (colored pencil, 2019) [9 × 12]

Luna at Long Lake (colored pencil, 2017) is designed as a tribute to my Siberian husky Nakita (1998-2011) and framed as a companion piece to Kita at Long Lake (colored pencil, 2006). Here, Luna is photographed and colored as she follows in the tracks of Nakita.
