Gloria's my sister-in-law. It was her birthday the other day, so here's the card I made her.
She couldn't not be in the company of her two beloved dogs, Charis, the giant, and Kleo, the smaller one.
At first I wanted to draw her riding on Charis' back as a reminder of the unfailing comment "Is that a horse or a dog?!" every time someone sees her for the first time, thus the outfit.

Voici la carte d'anniversaire que j'ai réalisée pour ma belle-soeur, Gloria. Elle y est bien sûr entourée de ses deux chiens adorés, l'énorme Charis et le plus petit Kleo. Mon idée de départ c'était celle de la faire chevaucher Charis, d'où le costume de jockey, pour rappeler l'immanquable comparaison à un cheval que les gens font quand ils voient le bestiau pour la première fois.
Questo è il biglietto di auguri per mia cognata, Gloria, che ovviamente si trova in compagnia dei suoi adoratissimi cani, Charis, quella gigante e Kleo, quello più piccolino. È vestita così, perché originariamente volevo rappresentarla che stava cavalcando Charis per ricordare l'immancabile quesito della gente che si chiede se non si tratta di un cavolo piuttosto di un cane!
The animals you draw are really beautiful (i just love the dog-bear you posted on your fb page!! <3 ), but in this last picture Charis is really, really awesome!! Don't know if it's the flapping tongue, the white shades or what, but it's really good!! :D
