This is another picture that took me ages. I painted the background several times (couldn't get just the right feel at first)--the request was for something...magical...but a beach scene, because this dog loved to find shells. So I tried to make it look somewhat noble, somewhat heavenly...I have stared at it so long now, though...I don't know if I came close or not. This picture is copyrighted material.
