These are paintings were inspired by my daily walks with my dog, Nikki, whom I’ve dubbed the “dharma dog” for his role as guide and companion as we travel through the dharma together. Each of the poems have been paired with a poem. See Travels with Dharma Dog, the book, which also includes detailed notes on the paintings.
