Another painting in the series of dogs on the beach, one of my favourite subjects! This is Rusty, a Labradoodle. He’s racing away across the sand and through the waves with his ball in his mouth. It makes me think of happy summer days, full of fun and laughter.

This was a great excuse for some luscious colour combinations. The wonderful turquoise sea looks wonderful against the reds and golds of his coat. The colours add to the feeling of a happy, sunny day.

Here are some close up details of the painting.

I have a new Labradoodle print ‘The Chase’.

Two dogs playing chase on the beach, having fun. The prints is available from the The Painted Dog.

I loved painting these two Labradoodles playing on the beach. The expressions on their faces as Lucee races off with the ball and Rusty chases her across the sand. They are really having fun!

Here are a couple of close ups of the canvas.

This is Prince, a chocolate labrador. He is enjoying the sunshine on Kingsgate Beach, Broadstairs in Kent. This is one of my new ‘Dogs On The Beach’ paintings. The painting is on show at the moment at the Ripley Arts Centre in Bromley.

It’s taken me a few days but I’ve finally got the photos from Bromley sorted out and up op on flickr!  Here they are….

Cats, Dogs and Other Animals is on at The Ripley Arts Centre until the 28th of August.

This painting is the first in a new series ‘dog in action’ paintings I hope to do over the summer.  I wanted to get the feeling of a sunny day on the beach and the sheer joy of running! I wanted a blast of colour with the light coming from behind him.

This was done on paper in acrylics. Here’s a close up detail.

This is a portrait of Prince, a chocolate lab. I really enjoyed painting him and hope to do another painting of him soon. This painting is a 20×16 acrylic on canvas.

Isn’t he gorgeous? This is Max having a whale of a time on the beach. I wish you could hear him grunting with happiness to. Just make sure you are not too close when he shakes the sand off his coat!
