Original Painting Medium: Pastel
After completing a series of labrador paintings, drawings, and pastel portrait commissions for a labrador breeder and enthusiast, I decided to portray this labrador, in pastel, for myself. I have since portrayed a Black Labrador Retriever and through my Labrador artwork support the Labrador rescue society.
Native to Newfoundland, this breed was first brought to Great Britain in 1800 by English ships coming from Labrador. With an intelligent expression, robust head, and powerful neck the labrador is a good companion and working dog. There are three colour forms: black, liver, and yellow.
The Labrador is lively, affectionate, and lovable and works well retrieving for its master. Working in marshes and water it is also used to help fishermen draw in their nets.
