Jacques, dyes on silk
Slippy, the Jack Russell terrier in this painting was a neighbor for a while and belongs to friends who arrange charter diving and fishing trips to Mexico. The tropical scene behind him is one of the Cocos Banderas islands in the San Blas Island chain in Panama. We had been anchored here on another friends' sailboat and had a great time snorkeling. I decided on a whimsy that Slippy, with my husband's mask and snorkel would make a fun painting. My husband, Terry, gave the name Jacques to the painting as a play on words with Jacques Cousteau and Jack (Jacques) Russell terriers. The palm trees were painted with thickened dyes to avoid resist lines. Notice the fun reflected clouds in his diving mask and the purple Guatemalan collar!
