This handsome fellow owns a group of guys having adult beverages outside a cafe in downtown Aspen, Colorado. He posed so beautifully that I just HAD to try and capture him in watercolors. So the picture in the upper portion of the post is my submission to Paint Party Friday.
And this picture is just one showing a proud fellow having cocktails with his family at The Little Nell. The waitress brought him a bowl of water (can you believe it?) and on a tray, no less. I wonder how much was tipped to his server. Since the average cost of a room there is over $600, just the tip given for his bowl of water was probably more than my friend and I paid for beers that afternoon.
I counted five dogs around the Little Nell pool that day. His face is obscured in order to preserve his true identity. (You never know, he might be a celebrity.)
Oh that is funny (to me) - the water bowl on a tray:-) Love your Great Dane, and your correct observation that he IS the owner:-)
ReplyDeleteLovely illustration of the dog ~ Wow! dogs get treated well in restaraunts in Aspen ~ Here in MA ~ they are not allowed in any 'food' place ~ thanks, ^_^ (A Creative Harbor)
ReplyDeleteHow nice! I always love looking at beloved doggies! There is an outside mall near here and dogs are always cruising around with their people. It's fun!
ReplyDeleteGREAT painting! Really, it's wonderful!
Wonderful for the ENTIRE family, even the pups! Have a blessed day dear Nancy, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteYour painting is fun and has captured the doggy personality. Dogs aren't welcomed in cafe's here usually although our pub has an outside area to sit with dogs and provides water for them.
ReplyDeleteI was quite amused by your observations and your drawing reminds me of Tintin's Snowy even if he's so much smaller! Patsy
ReplyDeletewhat a great dog!
ReplyDeleteWell done...as one frightened easily by big dogs I like that I can like them in photos and paintings! ;-) HPPF!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific, painted interpretation of real life, Nancy! You could be a children's book illustrator.
ReplyDeleteyou captured his regal stance and friendly face just perfectly!
ReplyDeleteWonderful illustration! You did an excellent job!! Fun!

A great likeness. And, he was looking right at you! It's impressive that you can just paint something you've seen for just a few minutes, or, a split second! Take care Nancy! See you soon!♥
ReplyDeleteaww what a cute dog and your painting is so life like!
ReplyDeleteGreat painting!
ReplyDeleteLove that the doggy was served a bowl of water on a tray! :)
