I really like painting dogs and their humans playing at the beach. This is my 9th painting in this series, and I love the sappy expression of this Labrador retriever, who isn't too keen on going back out in the waves to fetch the ball. I had watched these two playing in the surf that day, (which was really rough), and this pup wasn't too skilled at finding the ball in the waves, but kept trying!
