One more puppy before Christmas.
This is a commission 12" X 14". Watercolour on Arches 300lb. CP paper.
It looks like they are having a wonderful time.
I love the Boxer because they enjoy so much
being with their people and playing.
They actually think they are human.
We won't tell them otherwise. :)
Shhhh!!
Shhhh!!
The first thing I noticed about this painting was the feeling of unbridled joy. I can feel the pup's happiness as he is bounding along next to his young charge. Beautiful painting, Ross.
ReplyDeletePat, your comment brought a wee tear to me eye."Unbridled Joy" is such a great term and most effectively describes the moment these two were having. I'm so glad i was able to portray that and you confirmed it for me! Hooray! :)
DeleteAdorable, this really tells a story. Have a wonderful Christmas
ReplyDeletePolly thank you so much for your comment. I loved the photo when it was presented to me and offered up as a commission. There is a story there and i was being very careful with this one. I hope your Christmas is a very Merry one as well. :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful painting, Ross - so full of life and joy!
ReplyDeleteMy sister has had three Boxers, and I have spent much time with them. They truly are a loving, happy dog!!!
I wish you and your family {four-legged ones too, of course} a wonderful and joyous Christmas!

I love this image because of the moment it portrays. Youth, enthusiasm, happy times, and a lovely Boxer pup that would do anything for you. I fond moment indeed. One of my favourites thus far. Thank you Kathryn for your visit and encouraging words. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas as well. :)
ReplyDeleteFrom loading video tape to painting dogs - my how your life has changed, Ross!! Your work is beautiful, each one displaying vivid emotion - who'd-a-thunk it from a cow! Keep up the good work, and Merry Christmas from your former workplace.

What a cool surprise! BG! Is that Brian Gauld? Must be! What a delight to come home and find your comment. Yes, it is quite a switch from loading video tape to holding a paint brush. I sometimes think i should get one of those little black books we used to keep in VTR to leave notes for one another about what needed to be done. I find i am not as organized as i once was. Paint a little, surf the net, paint some more, surf the net. Hehe! It's a good life. I always wanted to paint but never knew quite when or how. I do miss the dental plan though. :) If you are ever near the gallery, pop by or drop me a note. It would be grand to have a coffee and visit. Thanks so much for the comment Brian. it made my day.
DeleteLovely! I especially like the running puppy! Good movement is showing with the sand up on the puppies leg.
ReplyDeleteThank you Catharina. Yes, i wanted to show the motion and so glad it worked out with the sand. One never knows until it is done! :)
Deletewonderful painting! I love all of your work!
ReplyDeleteYour blog shows your love for animals. The same reflects in your paintings. Great work.
ReplyDeleteAK How nice to meet you. Thank you for your visit and for your kind comments. I am so glad my love of animals is apparent. It makes me happy to hear that. :)
