Acrylic Painting of a Springer Spaniel Swimming at a Local Lake


​CASPER

​Portrait size: 11" x 14"

Here is the acrylic painting of our dear late Springer Spaniel, Casper. The painting showcases Casper's passion for swimming in the QE2 Park lake situated in Woodhorn, Northumberland. Every time we went for a stroll, he would eagerly plunge into any body of water we encountered, making it difficult to persuade him to leave. His love for water was unparalleled, and the painting captures his joyful spirit and his zest for life.

It is part of a series of four portraits showcasing our dogs, past and present, in different bodies of water.​​

Adding the fine detail
I found myself with an abundance of pictures of my beloved Casper enjoying a swim, and I must admit that selecting the perfect one for his portrait proved to be the most difficult out of all the pictures. This painting was the first in a series of four that motivated me to finish the rest.
