Jack Russell

I painted this little Jack Russell a couple of weeks ago. The finished image struck me as such pure energy and joy. I liked the jumping jack so much I painted it twice. One painting is daytime, the other at night, but both with the same enthusiasm, for me as the painter and the dog in the painting. He has hope and a goal, but mostly that little Jack Russell has confidence. He knows he can get that ball as it come flying by. He doesn't second guess himself, he doesn't hesitate, or have a moment of doubt. He is free to jump as high as he can, never doubting that he will get what he is after. Sounds kind of corny, I know, but boy do I wish I could jump more often and higher then I do. Take more chances and have more outrageous goals, not worrying about the out come, but just dreaming the dream. For more dog art visit my web site at www.janetwoldart.com
