This was the very first gun dog I ever painting us

This was the very first gun dog I ever painting using my style of combining traditional and digital mediums together. The edge and a perfect model my nephew Cooper Lane's black lab Maggie Mae makes for a beautiful piece of artwork.

I know Cooper is very happy to know his dog is supporting @gundog_nation - More than a Podcast, it’s a movement to build a community of Gundog owners to share tips for training, and preserve our heritage. 100% Veteran Owned.

Who thinks a wood duck is the prettiest hunted waterfowl?

My first loved dogs were a pair of beagles named Ralph and Allie. My parents bought them for me when I was 16 years old. How many of you began your gun dog lives with a hound or two or more?

I know @gundog_nation is proud to represent an often forgotten breed.
