Border Collie Pup – 6″ x 10″ Watercolor on Masa
And cropped to the 5″ x 7″ version. A painting
within a painting, while I played with color on the masa paper. I had
so much fun with this pup. I kept adding blues and hot pink and purple
to Cleo, while playing with warm colors on the background.
Thanks to JustJean at WetCanvas, for the photo.
About Ovid
“
Publius Ovidius Naso, the Roman poet known as Ovid, best known for the epic
Metamorphoses,
is considered one of the greatest poets of Latin literature. He was
born in 43 B.C. in what is now Italy. He rose quickly in Roman
government and was on track to become a senator when he chose to devote
himself to poetry instead. His tale of
Pyramus and Thisbe is the source for Shakespeare’s
Romeo and Juliet. Emperor Augustus exiled Ovid from Rome for unknown reasons in 8 A.D.; he died in exile in 17 A.D. “
