One hundred percent "askal" (mongrel - lit. "street dog"!) This is my good friend Scruffy, one of the dogs on a farm where I sometimes stay in Mindanao, in the Southern part of the Philippines. Scruffy askal he may well be, but he's such a lovely dog! Here he is, wondering if it's time yet for another long walk around the rice fields... Hence the look of sheer anticipation on his face in this painting! Based on one of my photographs. Rembrandt, Schmincke and Unison pastels on Dominion St. Armand 100% flax, hand-made watercolor paper. 21" x 29" (53cm x 73cm)
