Cooling Off

This is Marshall, one of the dogs that I walk. In the summer time (nice memories) the dogs often take a dip in the creek.

I struggled with this one, but  I'm happy with how it turned out.

This is great. You have given so much information without too much
detail. Hard to do.

I love this little guy. I also just painted a doggie in the water, and had lots of fun with it. I love the movement in your water.

Catherine, you took on quite a challenge with this painting and it is wonderful. I love seeing dogs swim and this painting brings back memories for me as well.

This is masterful! Just enough given and wonderful brush strokes.
