Dog Each Day

Celebrating the Year of the Dog Jan 29 '06 - Feb 17 '07

Finn

Finn
Brush pen on watercolor paper, about 7.25″ x 8″. Reference photo by Kari.

Finn is a yellow labrador retriever, and, will be three on Christmas Eve. I’ll tell you a little about him. :)

Finn has won hearts everywhere he goes. He won mine the moment I saw him with his littermates. He is always happy, and, always ready to cuddle. He’s a tremendous spirit, and, I try to learn from him every day. He really knows how to love, and, how to enjoy life. He’s a fabulous retriever, and, an outstanding swimmer. Finn is smart, funny, goofy, and, a joy to have around. I don’t know that I would be where I am at today if it weren’t for him. He’s a heart rescuer! – Kari

Thanks Kari! Any of my regular viewers know I love Yellow Labs and Finn is a prime example of the breed. I loved the expression here becaue it’s not a typical one for a lab – “I’m ready for my close-up, Mr Demille!”

The drawing is up a little later than usual today because I was up later than usual enjoying the company of good friends. I’ll be on track tomorrow…

    This drawing is wonderful but not nearly as wonderful as Finn himself or Kari. They are quite a pair, this daughter of mine and her Finn.

  8. This is lovely. I adore those clean lines!

  9. Perfect capture!

    Nice pose of Finn, but I’m a sucker for dogs. He reminds me of Sunshine my lab mix.
