When you've been used to life being quite hectic, a day or two when everything is going well and you can just noodle around becomes a very precious commodity. These last few weeks, there always seems to have been something to make me crazy, but things are opening up to a peaceful day here and there where I can paint again with all my concentration. Bliss.
I embarked on a series of Spaniel paintings a while ago, and I'm finally nearly done. Two more to go, and my set of Spaniels is complete - until I decide to revisit them.
This one is the English Cocker Spaniel, a lovely, lively companion who is quite different from his American cousin in looks. This fellow is a Blue Roan, but they also appear in solid colors and Parti-color (black or any shade of tan/red/blond and white). I don't see many of these little beauties where I live, so every time I meet one is a treat.
This 6 x 8 watercolor is available as the original, a small print, or notecards. Any one of these, or a combination would make a great show award.
