Résumé
About me
The clip art of the Gibson Girl is by the American artist Charles Dana Gibson done around 1890-1910, available from DeskGallery®. The Gibson Girl drawing was colorized in August 1996 by Heikki Luhtala. What a nice surprise! I like them both. Which do you prefer?
(Here is why I use a drawing instead of a photo of myself.)
About my dogs
My husband and I have raised several dogs over the years: Australian Shepherds, Bernese Mountain Dogs, a Norwegian Elkhound mix, and a Standard Poodle. A portion of this site is set aside for dogs.
