Pirate and his daughters, Magic, Shad and Bess
This is a 7×9 oil on canvas board I painted in 1988. CH Mistrettas Ballou Pirate was the foundation sire for Mistretta Australian Shepherds. He was born in 1970 and was with us for 13 wonderful years. His dam and grand dam were working cattle dogs in a remote valley in Eastern Oregon in the USA. Many of my early paintings were in oil.
Pirate and his daughters, Magic, Shad and Bess belongs to the following groups:
