Cooling Off

OK, I know. I'm a day late again. Been busy this week and the days seem to fly by.

Anyone with a retriever can relate to this painting. I miss my golden, Cheyenne. She would stay in the water all day if I let her. She truly was an exceptional dog...loving, obedient and able to anticipate what I needed from her.

My current dog is a Shih Tzu named, Bailey. I originally bought him to keep Cheyenne company. Now I have the first small dog I have ever owned. Of course, he thinks he's fierce.

I was struggling with the water in the painting. I just couldn't seem to get the water the way I wanted it. I must have done about 15 layers of washes. Each painting is a journey and a learning experience. That's what keeps it a challenge.

Tomorrow I am participating in a show "Uncommon Art on the Common" in Goffstown, NH, which is the next town from where I live. The weather is supposed to be perfect, for a change.
