Pip loved his morning ramble to the riverside and he always made sure to meander through the woodland.
Patch, ever faithful, loved the fields and stream for the slew of creatures to chase and tease.
A boy and his dog were ever happy in fields and forest and days like this seemed to stretch into eternity.
My painting "A boy and his dog" started out in various sketches and watercolors and then scanned to play with layers. The final piece was done in digital pastels, chalks, and oils.
I wanted to capture light and colour and give the feeling that the pair were forever held in a dreamy day of endless summers. I love to paint the past in bright colors and give the mood that a moment in time can be held like a fly in amber, forever a bright spot of joy in any past, that one can visit whenever one wishes, by closes their eyes and remembering the scent of lavender and the warm kisses of an old faithful dog.
I've been absent on Hive for over a week now, mainly due to the illness of my dear Mother in Law. Having been on countless trips to the hospital and sitting bedside, has rather worn me out.
Then Hubby became ill, luckily nothing serious and his illness just kept him bedbound at home, but none the less the sick bed and worry filled my days and I was not online much at all.
Sitting with my MIL and reminiscing of days gone, even her own childhood, always makes me long for such moments as I felt when I made this painting. That moment of joy that we all have had and we can take out when times get tough and hold it like a little jewel to the sun and catch the sparkle of the memory of it.
I hope you enjoyed my painting and do excuse my absence from dear ole' Hive. I hope you find a moment to indulge in your own passions and to hold dear a lost day or memory of joy that you can hold and treasure whenever the day seems dark.

Aaawww sorry to her about your troubles/worries dear @donnadavisart
It is such a worry caring for your mother in law especially at the hospital bed. I send some strength over for you.
Hope your husband recovers well 🤞🏻
You truly captured the essence of a dreamy summers day. Beautiful, I live the colours and the dreamy effect. It works so well.
Big hug, take care 🤗😊
Thank you so much @littlebee4 I'm so happy you liked it.
Yes, illness is never fun and of course it reminds us of the finite time we have with our loved ones. At least Hubby is back up and better now :)
You are so welcome @donnadavisart 😊

Thank you @dswigle :)
cool colors!
Thanks @tobetada I love color and often think of them as another subject in the painting.
Your art is always beautiful and original. Every time I stop by and see one of your works, I keep looking at each of your sizes and the way you apply your essence and color. Very nice work!🍂✨
Gosh, thanks so much @sannae.art I'm happy you like them. Sometimes art is the joy we need to take ourselves out of real life.
wow, it's very nice it looks like a traditional oil painting :0, I love your work
Thanks @reard I'm traditionally trained so I tend to approach my digital pretty much how I approach the canvas and the paper as well, only it's much more fun with layers in digital.
That's why I can say that you do it very well, you make the traditional be transmitted in the layers of a digital drawing, greetings ;)
I must not have finished my comment! I am so sorry about your MIL and the hospital is not fun at all. I would rather be back at home in my own cozy bed.
Hugs to the hubby, I hope he feels better soon.
I truly love this bit of whimsey! Such warm and wonderful colors... but, it is the story that grabs my heart.
Well, I'm happy MIL is at least now in a new place where they are attempting Physical therapy, tho her leg/foot is still so swollen and painful, it's been an odd journey.
I'm happy my little story touched you @dswigle :)
