Red Setter

"Red Setter" oil on 8x10 board
Red Setters, especially this one, have beautiful colouring, a mish-mash of red tones that to me are very appealing. 

The eyes desperately want to "get on with it!". 

I couldn't resist painting him against the blue blanket he seems to be enjoying.

  1. You have really captured the coloring of this breed. And I wish i could paint the eyes like you do . they are just lovely.
    Love red setters but they can run fast and the only ones we ever fostered kept running off and were hard to catch.
