Off the Leash - Black Lab in Snow by Robert Bateman

Off the Leash by Robert Bateman available from Prickly Pear Galleries.

 

"A dog that is reasonable well trained is a wonderful companion for walking in the country. I can't count the happy hours that Smallwood and I spent exploring the fields and forests near our home or cottage. In this painting I have shown him briefly lying down waiting for me to catch up. I felt that the delicate forms in the little grove of hemlocks made a good counterpoint to the solidity of Smallwood's sphynx-like figure." - Robert Bateman.
