Easy

Easy is the Mastiff cross that lives next door. He was a stray that had been abandoned in the Philadelphia neighborhood where our neighbor, Pete, used to live. He was skin and bones. He apparently had been left out in the weather or tormented with water. He will not go near water and I cannot get him to go outside if he so much as smells a hint of rain in the air. I watch Easy and his ‘sister’ Meega, another stray that Pete adopted, when he is at work.

I painted this as a gift to Pete. It is acrylic on a 16″ diameter stretched canvas. I framed it using the outer rings of two 8″ diameter embroidery hoops.
