I got the most incredible birthday present yesterday from my good friend, oil painter David Gough. The stunning oil painting he created of Dahlia Jane and familiar, little Audrey dog, is too perfect. I can’t stop staring at it. Anyone looking at this painting can see that I’m a writer of evil intent. The inclusion of a pen and journal, the shadowy raven and memento mori skull is reminiscent of the iconology of medieval paintings. And I do believe anyone looking at the painting would fall under the subject’s spell. David is so thoughtful, he even gave Audrey chopsticks which represent her fevered love for thai food (sort of an inside joke for any who have encountered Miss Audrey and watched her scarf down some pad see ew). I’m so touched by this remarkable gift!
