Friend or Foe?


Most lovely sitter

Time to involve Chester again! 

...The moment when a human tries to greet an (unknown) dog is often quite exciting for both. Will it be an unconditional friendship or will you remain suspicious? Animals often feel and know instinctively and they are always sincere.

And I was once taught that the best way to dispel mistrust by a dog is to simply offer your open hand and let it be explored calmly. Don't pet the animal over the head, because they won't do it to you either.

That was a lecture about greeting dogs. ☝😁

But back to the painting, I love painting my best friend Chester very much. I think I need to paint him more often.

It's the fifth in the series of my Hands' Private Life project. So, let's call this one "Friend or Foe?". Oil, canvas board 24 x 30 cm.
