Description "Kilmeny had been where the cock never crew,
Where the rain never fell, and the wind never blew.
When she spoke of the lovely forms she had seen,
And a land where sin had never been;
A land of love and a land of light,
Withouten sun, or moon, or night;
Where the river swa’d a living stream,
And the light a pure and cloudless beam;
The land of vision, it would seem,
A still, an everlasting dream."

entry for 's contest with her foo dog character the only different i made the muzzle long rather then short as it fit the picture better (the short muzzle kept making the dog look comical )

song has a very mystical quality to it as well as a old fashioned feel so i thought it went with the foo dog being a ancient symbol. The song tells of a beautiful spiratual land but at the same time has a very dangerous feel in occasions saying things like (the land does not have sun or moon, it never rains, and does not mention anything alive) so i wanted the picture to try to show that (reason for light bones and dead trees)

also well pleased with the fur texture not too realistic but paintily as well

Again your art has captured my soul.This is one of the most "Touching" Piece's I think I have ever seen from you.The pose,the sad but knowledgeable look in the Dog's eyes...as if it HAS been there and seen what lies beyond.
Truly a great work Devon,as all of your works have so become!
I wish you well in this contest,and feel you will win this hands down!
