‘Inspirational Series’ card by Karin Taylor

Nancy, Patsy, Ellen and Red Dog is a mixed media production. I used ink, pastel, acrylic and charcoal on canvas textured paper. The original painting was just auctioned for charity recently.

This work was also inspired by the _‘Legend of Red Dog aka The Pilbara Wanderer’, as is ‘Where is Red Dog’.

Red Dog was an adventurous dog who seemed to belong to an entire community.
When his soulmate John died, Red Dog searched for him for the rest of his days, that’s loyalty for you! This painting depicts the time Red Dog’s search for John took him all the way from the dusty outback to Cottesloe Beach, with the girls from his hometown hot on his tail…...

If you look closely you can see the tips of Red Dog’s ears way out past the breakers!

    lol, they look like they are really concentrated on the watching the sea, absorbed in deep thought, I can’t vouch for 100%, but if it’s not my fav of all time, it’s at least one on my fav of all time :))) It’s difficult, i like them all so much! :)))

    Just noticed how you swapped the colours for the towels, and get complementary colours, very very beautiful and clever piece of art. A delight!!!

    Cvail, it was hard to figure out the towel in the middle…....in the end it just had to be blue! I’m so glad you like it :)

    So much in here that I relate to that I’m not sure where to start Karin….the dog of course, Cottesloe (lots of Cott memories). I love the fact that you have to hunt for a few moments before you see his ears poking up.
