Description
This painting is a commission I just finished as a special birthday gift for my client's husband. Now recorded for all time, their cherished Brittany's loll about the daisy field which surrounds their Colorado mountain family cabin. If you look closely, you can find their three cats in the background. I so enjoyed capturing the distinctive personalities of these dogs. On the surface, they all seemed to look alike, but as I painted them I saw how truly individual each one was.

This is beautifully painted, Anne. The dogs do indeed have unique personalities and the cats are such a nice touch. Overall, I love the varied greens, the way you have carried the blue of the sky into other areas of the painting and the light which creates a lovely view of the home but highlights those special dogs so well. This is a masterful work - you are so talented!

Thank you for your insightful comment, Sarah. I am still amazed that these folks had such a large family of fun dogs. I was pleased I could help them bring back fond memories.

Yes, they really must be happy. When I think of all the poor dogs here in Germany who live in small flats and overcrowded cities with nothing but concrete surrounding them. Beautiful image, my dear. L
Anne Gifford replied:
These dogs are very lucky, indeed. Thank you for your insightful comment, Britta.
