Love how cavalier #Maltese is about using broken plurals for Romance loanwords, like kappell 'hat', pl. kpiepel. Is-sena it-tajba lil kulħadd!

Thanks so much to my 12/ 9 #FineArt America client from Land O' Lakes, FL. for their purchase of a throw pillow of "Bed Headed Boy." I hope you enjoy it!

Charlie is trying his best to show his Heihachi impression.

"That Salty Sea Air" ... My newest. It's beach day ... and a goggle-wearing Maltese dog playfully sticks his tongue out ... looks like he's ready for lunch!

"Heart Of Gold" this adorable little guy is my favorite model, Buddy. I created this pic for Valentine's Day from my own photo, digitally hand-painted in #Corel-Painter. Thought I'd introduce him here, as you'll probably see more pics of him as time goes by. His pic as wall art and gift ideas, is at my website here: https://lois-bryan.pixels.com/featured/heart-of-gold-lois-bryan.html. #maltese #dogs #pets #love #BuyIntoArt #LoisBryan #NotAi #art #BuyIntoArt

Summer 2018 & hubby was weeding the front when this little gal turned up & lay quietly behind him, watching. We knocked on doors & posted flyers before taking her to the local shelter, where we put a hold on her if her owners didn't show. They didn't. This is Kiki.
