Day 11 of the 30 in 30 - Golden Through and Through

A smiling dog is one of the sweetest sights to see... :)

I have heard that Golden retrievers are some of the most friendly, steadfast and loyal dogs you will ever have the pleasure of knowing.  I've met many a Golden in my life and not one of them has yet to show me any different.  This guy seems like he fits that description, doesn't he? I also love that the retriever breed can have beautiful long golden coats, shorter yellow, brown or black coats... Such beautiful, rich colors and so much fun to paint.  A few years back, I painted a trio of retrievers, all of which have found forever homes :)  I decided it was time to revisit this special breed again..this time with hats.. :) Look out in the coming days for a few other variations on this theme and thank you!
