Baker (the Dog) in Georgian Bay
This original painting of a dog in water was inspired by photo my niece, Ellen, took in Collingwood, Ontario. When she and her significant other, Adam initially merged homes, they each brought their big dogs together, Baker and Baba.
“Located about 2½ hours north of Toronto on the southern shores of Georgian Bay just 11 kilometres (6.7) miles west along the coast from Wasaga Beach this small Simcoe County town has become one of Canada’s fastest growing communities over the last 20 years and almost 20,000 people now call it home.”

They often take the dogs to Sunset Point Beach Park, where they frolic in the shallow water.
During one evening’s outing, Ellen captured an amazing photo of Baker against a stunning sunset sky. I didn’t tell her that I was painting it until I completed it. Her shock and emotion were so sweet that I shipped it to her. It’s now proudly displayed on a wall in their home.
