About the Neighbor's Dog
by Cooper on 12/28/2009 5:14:37 PM

Greetings,

Welcome to the Cooper studio, again, this December 28th-day in Jefferson, Iowa. This morning's post alluded to my neighbor possibly walking the dog. It's a non-definitive siting, because of massive snow banks, big enough to hide a dog. But hey, the leash was leaning ahead of the neighbor in such a way as to indicate there had to be a dog in there somewhere pulling it out taut like that. Anyway. I thought about the idea of walking the dog, and decided I liked it enough to paint it.

Here is where I had to start editing. How can you possibly paint "a dog walking" if you can't see the dog? Fortunately, the same neighbor, and her dog, are regular walkers. And the little HP camera recorded them earlier this fall BSC (before the snow came) Plus, they look much happier in my painting than they did in the snow :) See?

Crisp Fall Morning Dog Walk, acrylic painting on a perfect little 12 x 12 inch canvas, available in my portfolio, of course.

Later, Cooper
