Tim and Zippy

My husband asked if I would paint a portrait of him with our silly little dog Zippy.  So here it is!  And no portrait of Tim would be complete without his trusted Gandalf incense burner.  Tim created this figure in the early 1970’s, and it’s hard to believe now we made a modest living selling reproductions of Gandalf at Cook Street Market. The market is sadly long gone of course- replaced by a car park.  Guess I’m showing my age here talking about a bygone era!
