Georgia is a "found" dog. My nephew Mark found her in the wilds of -- Guess where? -- Georgia. She's a German short-haired pointer, chocolate brown with a white star on her chest. She may have been a bird dog in another life. Now she's a family dog and a star to those who love her.

Gaea

American Water Spaniel

5" X 7" colored pen and ink

2012

I’ve been drawing a series of American Water Spaniels for Mary Kangas, a long-time breeder of these unique dogs (Noma's American Water Spaniels).  Lady and Gaea are numbers six and seven. I have at least ten more portraits to go before I’ve drawn every single AWS Mary has owned.

One might think that all spaniels look alike. Wrong! Lady and Gaea represent two different AWS types. Lady has a retriever head, while Gaea has a spaniel head. Lady’s fur is tightly curled and she has shorter ears. Gaea is called a Marcelle. Her fur is loosely curled and she has longer ears. I’m learning a lot about these dogs as I draw them.

See if you can determine types on these other AWS portraits I've drawn for Mary.
