Otter Hunting ("On the Scent")

About this work

This painting shows a group of dogs standing on rocks near a body of water. The dogs are all different sizes and have long, shaggy fur that is mostly white with patches of black and brown. In the background, there is a hill with trees and bushes, and a cloudy sky. The dogs seem to be looking at something in the distance, and their tails are held high. The painting is done in oil paint and has a lot of texture, especially in the fur of the dogs. The colors are muted, with shades of brown, green, and gray dominating the palette.
