Fetching Bulldog

 

6x6

Acrylic on Gessobord

This speedy little Frenchy was really fun to watch.  He was a little powerhouse!  As he passed by me he was snorting and snuffling happily with all concentration on the ball.  What was really fun to paint on this piece was the water.   I really like the warm tones of the water coupled with the cool tones of little Frenchy here.  Of course, painting splashing water is my fav!  I love the action in the waves and shore break.

I have found that when I don't paint for a while, when I come back to it, my confidence has disappeared.  When I started this painting, that nasty little voice inside my head kept telling me it was no good.  Thankfully, I persevered!  I concentrated on keeping it loose and simple and am loving the results!  I hope you enjoy it too.
