dog portrait - " In the Clouds"

Copyright © 2010 Linda Apple

"Head in the Clouds"
oil on 1.5" deep canvas
6"x6"

I think we all find our heads in the clouds occasionally.
I found this large neighborhood hound soaking up a bit of
sunshine on the top step and with his head in the clouds, he
looked like he was certainly the king of his hill.
