"A Cool Walk"


6 x 6"
Oil on canvas
SOLD

Different dog, different beach, same degree of canine happiness!

I had originally intended this to be part of a larger composition, but it wasn't working as I'd hoped, so I decided to just focus on the dog instead. I might return to the original idea another time, but for now I'm pleased enough with how this one looks. Again, it was done quite quickly (quick for me, that is!). I especially enjoyed painting the water splashes.

  1. there is NOTHING like a dog in the water - this dog is definitely smiling - nice capture of it's expression - love the gray water and the water coming off his soaked fur.

  2. Thanks, Lisa. You're not wrong there. I could've watched these dogs playing all day long! :-)

  3. Kevin,
    I am working on water splashes myself. I just can't decide what colors I see.
    Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. I'm glad I caught it. I found it in my spam folder!
