"Gretsky", 2010

I finished this dog portrait on December 30th and it was the last painting to complete in 2010.  Whew… talk about just making a deadline!  I had such fun painting this yellow lab puppy, I almost don’t want to give it to the customer! I will, of course, but every now and then I complete a painting I’m reluctant to say goodbye to and this is one of those times.  I’ve got another photo of this same puppy playing with a tennis ball so I’ll just have to paint another one later this year.
