That right the dog belong to a man that was walking his dog on the beach and the lady is one of the models that I was photographing when the pro photographer bought them there for a shoot. I took photos and posted them last summer. I painted this from a photo I have of her as she did pose for this. the other model told her she did not have to pose for me but she wish too and she like the dog too. the owner of the dog was happy camper about the whole idea. The pro photographer cared less as he was hurrying to get home. I still do not know the lady as i like to give her a print of this painting painting is acrylic on a 24x36 canvas. I smooth it out by putting gesso on it three times with a 10 inch mud knife and sanded it between the coating. hope that will help some one if they like a smooth finish to paint on.
