Training Days II
Gary Peterson:

To artistically render the watery surface of a duck pond is a triple whammy: Submerged objects must show through the reflected sky on a fluid picture plane. It's an exercise that combines representational painting skills with abstraction. Add to that the portrait of a bird dog with expressive nuances like a big black nose, sparkling eyes, and bracing cold water splashed on a furry brow as it fetches a practice duck, all faithfully portrayed with meticulously fine brushwork that shimmers with the same tireless exuberance and sunny disposition of a Labrador Retriever doing its thing, and you've got the painted masterwork - "Training Days II," by Scott Alcorn.
