Our friend, Dina introduced us to Alison Friend’s Instagram page (@mcfriendy) when she saw this illustration of “Good Girl”, a toy poodle that resembles Lulu.
While the original painting had already found a home, Alison periodically releases limited-time fine art prints of her work. Thanks to Dina’s timely alert, we were able to acquire this special print during its release. I had to have it!
Tell me, that’s not Lulu!
And no we haven’t found a George yet! We will keep waiting for one to appear.
