The dogs of my life

Oskar

Working cocker spaniel

Watercolour portrait of Oskar, a golden working cocker spaniel, sitting

The Portrait

Soft golden fur, such a pretty face. Feathery ears, alert expression alert and almost frown, with big ears. Bright shining eyes Sensitive light-footed. Dog noses are strange-looking things. Each one is unique, curving in on itself into 2 dark holes. Mostly shiny black, shades of brown or rather pinky, like Oskar’s, needing a splash of Indian red with black speckles at the edges. Sepia for the nostrils.
