Black Lab painting, stopped in the water

I am producing plenty of pet portraits this Holiday Season! (No cats this year- only dogs.) Four down and three to go-- by Dec. 17. This is Joey, a champion UKC Lab who has won lots of ribbons for retrieving stuff in the water. Here he is stopped in the water waiting for a hand signal. Joey's owner will receive this as a gift from his daughter, and I think he will be happily surprised.
