There's a lot to be said for physical exercise ... all the doctors and the health-blogs and the self-help books extol its virtues for our physical well-being. But to me, there's more to it than that. There's the extra little benefit we get when we maybe don't walk QUITE so fast ... and when we take a little bit of time to exercise our eyes, too ... and in so doing, sharpen our sense of appreciation and exercise our attitude of gratitude for something lovely that we may have discovered.
One of my favorite quotes is from Roald Dahl ... "And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."
― Roald Dahl
Walking the dog can be a joy ... remember to always look closely!
Walking The Dog was captured in Montgomery County, Maryland in early September of 2015 and used as a base and loose guide. It was digitally hand painted with a multitude of brushes in Corel Painter 2015 and a Wacom tablet for a playful, painterly look. The comical little robin's image was captured in Bedford, Pennsylvania.
Products and fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... wall-art purchases will look their very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."
