Do you think it's fair that Greta wasn't allowed in the show when a painting of her was? she had to stay in the car.. don't worry, the AC was on, the car was parked in the shade of a tree, and she was listening to her favorite music! 'Tis a dog's life... I've been asked if Greta is my dog. No, she isn't. She belongs to a fellow Palletteer who'd invited us to her home to paint. When I saw her Great Dane, Greta, I was immediately captivated and knew I wanted to paint her!
