Red Ball

"Red Ball" 6x8" oil on canvas $98 SOLD, Thanks L.B.

Our friend Tom was house-sitting recently, and part of his job was to take the dog out every day for a game of fetch. Tom is not much of a dog-lover, but dutifully took the dog out and threw a ball for him. The dog just sat an looked at him for several tosses until it finally dawned on Tom that this is supposed to be FUN! On the next throw he was enthusiastic, and sure enough, the dog went right after it and they played together for quite awhile. Ah, teachers of Zen abound everywhere.
I wasn't thinking of that story when I did this painting, but that's undoubtedly where it came from.
