"Water's Edge" a new Labrador Retriever watercolor by Molly A Poole


I just made the final touches on "Water's Edge" an 11"x14" watercolor and a bit of casein on 140lb HP Fabriano watercolor paper this morning.
This painting was inspired by a wonderful photo that Trish Richardson/Twin Maples Labradors generously gave me permission to use for reference. Thank you Trish!
Once again, I am drawn to a very familiar subject for many of my paintings...Labrador Retrievers and water. The pattern of the wet Lab coat, the marsh grasses and the action of the broken water all require a playful and spontaneous hand. This painting will be entered into an upcoming juried show or part of a group show this summer...details to follow.
