Dogs are a favorite subject of mine to paint. I spotted this beautiful retriever playing frisbee with his owner and had to capture the moment in a painting. I love the look of determination on the dog's face as he brings his "prize" back to shore. I also found the reflections and sparkle on the water to be fascinating and a challenge I wanted to try to recreate in my work.
This painting received the First Place Award in Painting at Avenue West Gallery's Open Juried Show in 2016. What an honor!
