Yellow Lab with Pheasant


This is a watecolor study of a photograph by Jerome Robinson. Jerome took it for the cover of a book, and I loved it so much that I painted it for practice. This was painted 20 years ago, and is rare in the fact that I make it a point to never "copy" a photo unless it's just for practice and the photographer gives me permission. This is one of three I've done like this in 20 years, and is more of a testament to Jerome's eye than my technical ability, but it gets a lot of rave reviews, so hence I finally am putting it on the site.
