My Best Buddy ~ Australian Shepherd ~ Western Oil Painting by

It was inspired by my remembrances of the many hours of sitting with my dogs just like this cowboys quiet moment with his best bud at the end of the hard days work. Many hours have been spent in my life strocking my dogs head after a long day of good work.
Original oil painted on 11" X 14" stretched canvas created in my Grants Pass, Oregon studio
