The sun was slipping in and out of cloud cover today, but after the glorious weekend, I couldn’t help but think this morning about sunbathing and doing a little bit of nothing outside. Not that I did anything about it, mind you, just some aimless thinking.

With that in mind, though, choosing the reference photo for today’s dog-a-day was simple.

The hardest part was stopping laying more paint on. This piece has had 6 hours to dry and it’s still damp!

Many layers of orange, pink and yellow make for a piece that’s dense with color and brushwork.
“Basenji Study,” 4x8, acrylic dog painting on canvasboard, $60. Inquiries to ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com .

And for sharing these paintings with friends and family,
