A friend's photo inspired me to paint (with permission) this beautiful Labrador enjoying a dip in her pond. The essence of a water-dog out for a swim, momentarily distracted by a gleaming red winged warrior is a scene I have experienced many times with my dogs. The simple joy of being out in nature, embracing the beautiful summer season, and the ever-present curiosity of a Lab was the intention of this piece.
