The art piece, Maddie-kins, is being displayed in the Quigley Gallery and was viewed at 3:15 in the afternoon on Saturday, December 5, 2015. This oil painting was painted by Hope Greenwood. The painting displays the happiness of the dog being fed by her owner. From the piece, I observed what simple action can make one happy.
