That way might be better! is based on a photograph I took while out and about one day.  The lady's dog was obviously not too keen on walking past the one owned by the gentleman.  The scene was a great inspiration for a narrative painting.

The Clarence City Council holds a "Dogs' day out" each year and in conjunction, a "Poochibald" exhibition.  I felt that this scene would be a fitting entry.  It's always a wonderful exhibition, including a fair number of junior entries, picturing their furry friends.

My painting is in oils on a gallery wrapped canvas.  I have extended the painting to the outside edges so that the images appears to be visible, even from a side-angle.  However, it could be framed in a box frame or similar, if desired.  It is ready to hang.
