Day #19 Sea Dog, 5x7, oil

For many years we spent a few months of the winter at the beach in Florida.  I found this photo of Sophie and thought it would be a good painting for today.  As we get closer to getting our new puppy, Sophie's memory remains strong. 

I think it is very important not to over mix your colors when laying in the varied hues of water, especially the ocean.  The colors will blend a bit more as you apply the paint to your canvas.

Almost done.

Sea Dog, 5x7. oil

I painted this with mixed emotions.  Enjoying the memories, but missing her terribly.  I have painted this one before in a larger format but it sold.  I think I will have to paint it again for us.

This painting is sold.

Thank you for visiting.
