Almost always the best part of painting in plein air for me is the dogs I meet (and their people). Thursday when I was at the Dickey Ridge overlook I met Adobe. Turns out I had run across Adobe before. Six or seven years ago I did a series of dog paintings for a show. The sales from the show went to benefit the Humane Society of Warren County.
This was the painting I did of Adobe, now 15 years old, with McKinley. McKinley isn’t with us any more but his mom told me Thursday that they were glad they had the painting of the two of them. I’m glad too.
Here are some of the other new friends I made there that day.
