Red Dog


One of a trio of paintings in oil, 3' x 3' on canvas, that I have been working and re-working for a long time. I like them all, but this Whippet has the most presence, at least for me. I can imagine several motives and feelings behind the gesture, but prefer to leave it to the viewer to imagine what this dog is doing, thinking and feeling. Red Dog is the most design oriented of the trio of paintings, and can be viewed turned on any edge while the composition remains balanced.
