Oil Pastel on Canvas 20 x 16 x 2 Private Collection
"Harley, On A Harley"
Paul named his hunting dog after the 2 Harleys he owned,
so I used that to create this piece for him. Harley is riding off
into the sunset with a few dead ducks in the saddlebags. Please
note the tail coming thru the seat for comfort.
"Dinner Is Served"
Paul & Barbara always have happy hour at 5.
You can set your clock on it. So when Bogey noticed
that they were late, he "rang the bell" (or rather
made them aware) they were "late".
"But I Have To Pee!!" But when 3 dogs love you, there's not much more room left for you.
All nite, cozied up snuggy and warm. Now, what do you do when nature calls
at some horrible hour in the early a.m.?
"The Long Retrieve"
Paul, an avid hunter, sent Turk their young black lab off to retrieve
the fallen duck. And he waited. And waited. Where was that dog?
What happened? They learned that the duck had landed over 2 water
features, a meadow and God knows what/where else.
So I showed Turk with duck in mouth hitching back home. It took a while,
but he brought back the prize after a long way back.
These paintings of their cherished dogs were a surprise gift for Paul
from Barbara- and Elaine and I were there, thankfully, to see the joy
and tears in Paul's eyes. I don't usually get to deliver my dog commissions
in person. But this time I got the honor to see the effect they had. It felt wonderful.
