About the Item

Title: British Impressionist Watercolor of a Playful Canine in Motion by Anthony Avery (British 1946-2023) Original watercolor on artists paper, unframed Dimensions: 11 x 15.25 inches (Height x Width) Condition: Good, with some minor signs of aging. Provenance: From a large collection of this artists work, held in England. Description: This dynamic watercolor painting captures a moment of boundless energy and joy, as a lively dog is shown mid-stride with an expressive, almost whimsical portrayal. The artist’s brushwork emphasizes the motion and texture of the dog’s fur, using a palette of deep browns, moody blues, and burnt oranges that seamlessly blend together to create a sense of vibrant movement. Every stroke conveys the spirit of the animal, suggesting the quickness of its steps and the light-hearted enthusiasm of its gait. The fur, rendered with loose, flickering strokes, appears wind-swept and unrestrained, giving the impression that the dog is in constant, joyful motion. The dog’s open mouth, with its tongue playfully hanging to one side, further enhances the feeling of freedom and happiness, as if it’s taking in the world with an uncontainable excitement. The artist's choice of a clean, minimal background emphasizes the form of the dog, allowing the viewer to focus solely on its exuberant presence. Subtle splashes and splotches around the figure add an element of spontaneity, as if the painting itself embodies the spirited, carefree nature of the animal. This lively composition is a masterful study in capturing not just the form, but the essence of a playful canine in motion, inviting the viewer to share in the dog’s infectious joy and the simplicity of its unfiltered zest for life.
