Lucy Like-a-Charm - rhapsody.
#lucylikeacharm #memoir #fantasy #greyhound #digitalpainting #art #autism #love #alternativesentience #empathy
Lucy, a black greyhound with light yellow angel wings, side view, facing left of screen, standing, head slightly tilted downwards, tiny tip of tongue peeping out, ears pointed forward, alert and interested in something below. Yellow and pink brushed background. Backview of Greyhound in light yellow wash against pink wash background, Sparkles flowing from top, through spine and tail, exiting left.
