White Puppy

I found a photo of a puppy running fast, with his treasure - a rubber ball - clamped tightly in his teeth. It was so cute that I knew I wanted to paint it some day.

I approached this painting with a larger paintbrush than I usually use, and tried not to move the paint around too much, so that I would retain a "fresh look", much like the puppy itself.

It is a bright oil painting, more whimsical than realistic or impressionist. I enjoyed the process. It was a nice change from my usual style and subject matter.
