Pooch Patrol Painting

They say that people look like their dogs and the idea for my painting "Pooch Patrol" came from this. The painting shows a fictitious London park, with "The Shard" and "The Gherkin" visible through the trees in the distance. As well as the characters in the fore ground, walking their beloved dogs along the path, your eye is taken across the park, where lots of other dog owners are out having fun with their beloved dogs. As a dog owner myself, I had great fun creating this painting. I have used a muted palette, which I really love and I feel that it really does depict those late Spring days when you have to dust off your warm coat and wellies before taking your dog out for their walk.
