My Gordon Setter Shawna, waits every day for her favorite people to put on their boots and take her for a walk. She is 12 years old, gray in the muzzle and a little arthritic but still acts like a bird dog out in the woods. This is the third time I have done a painting of Shawna laying next to boots. This time I spent more time trying to capture her special look while waiting to go for a walk.
Polly Madel of Daily Paintworks challenged artists to paint "mans best friend" and their favorite thing. Shawna knows when my husband and I put on our hiking boots that means she gets to do her favorite thing!
Reeeally nice, Carol!
ReplyDeleteYou captured perfectly a pleading look...love it Carol!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is just beautiful. You really captured Shawna's expression, and those big pleading eyes. I hope you do some more of her.
