Description
Black labs are made to fetch. They don't mind getting wet going after a stick or ball, even in cold water. Perfectly happy and perfectly made creatures.
I have been wanting to do this image ever since my pup swam out to the raft after me up at mom's cabin in Wisconsin. She hated to have a bath but loved to swim in the lake. Go figure, lol. She is no longer with us but her memory lives on in me.
Hope this is not too dark as I have the contrast quite high. Let me know if you think it is. Thank you.

Beautiful scene Nancy. Wonderful dedi to your pet, like you..all my dogs are gone now as well..the one in my avatar was the last and lived longest..19.5 years!. Happy memories. Excellent posting!
Genial work Nancy !
wow! excellent!
I understand about labs. I have seen them jump into swimming pools with the temp in the low 30's. my lab mix does not like water too much but she does not run from the hose like my other dog. he hates water and hates baths even more your art is exceptional in every way. something that would right at home hanging on the wall
not too dark at all nancy!! JUST PERFECTION!! my favorite of favorites and just wish it were a painting hanging on my wall with this you can always remember your beautiful lab ;D big hugz!!!!!
A fine bit of Bryce work inspired by the memories of a true friend.
Super work Nancy, Labs are definately water dogs huh, ya see the lakeses don't got no soap so swimmin is differnt. The overall Image is not too dark but features on the Pup are hard to make out. & Peace
wow at first I thought it was a photo. this is super
Excellent work, Nancy! Great atmo, and meticulous, subtle work on the water ripples.
From what I remember, they don't mind to wet people around them when they get out of water too ! ;) But they are so cool, you just have to forgive them ! The atmosphere, that gives a cold feel to the picture, is perfectly done. It reminds me of some morning walks in Normandy.
Spectacular. What a great and delecate touch you used.
Very nice pic... Great to see the "filler forest" still in use...
Fantastic landscape.
A perfect landscape Nancy! like it a lot..Excellently done :)
The detail right down to the mist is excellent, well rendered lake scene with great reflection work.
So serene...A beautiful landscape!
I thought this was a photo!! Super job, Nancy! and a fine tribute as well.
"A delightful image that brings back that feeling of companionship!" Beautfully done Nancy!!!...:))
That's already been mentioned dB. I couldn't get rid of those shadows inside Bryce. I did try my hand at postworking it out but didn't upload the correction. Think I will and see what people think.
Sorry Nancy....I never read all the comments. I sure like your changes. I had to revisit and re-comment LOL Bravo!
Not too dark at all, looks fantastic!
wow-looks like a photo-excellent
