Regatta Dogs 2

6x8
Acrylic on gessobord

This is Doug, the most adorable, mellow, sweet, huge lab I have had the pleasure of meeting.  This painting is of the "Wind Regatta" in the Columbia Gorge this past summer.  The wind was howling and the sun was out.  What can be better for a sailor?

In this painting, I really wanted to capture the feeling of the day.  The sun was magnificent and there is just so much excitement when you see all the lasers and optis parked on the beach, waiting to take on the wind and waves of the Gorge.
