Murphy and her toy.

 The Daughter wasn't keen on the first painting of Murphy. The breeder had taken the photo and Kate wasn't keen on it.




So I painted a second one, from a photo Kate had taken. It was quite challenging, especially the toy in the mouth.








Kate said I'd captured Murphy's eyes, when I showed her the finished watercolour. She showed no interest in owning it.










The painting looks very nice in this location.
