Description
I walk around Elk/Beaver Lake which is close to where I live. I cross paths with people and their dogs, one day I spotted this dog that could not remove the sigh of something in the water. Despite the fact, the owner called but the dog continued looking. I had the chance to take my camera out and snap a shot. I do not know what it was but the dog will remain looking forever in my painting. Impressionist. This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Ready to Hang: Yes. Signature Location: bottom right.
