Daisy, our spoodle, loves going to the beach. As we live very close to the beach, Ian attached a basket to the back of his pushbike to transport Daisy in. We used to strap her in with a harness so she couldn’t jump out, but she took to this novel mode of transport remarkably quickly and now we don’t restrain her at all. An old hand at it now, she nonchalantly scratches herself or leans over the side so she can see around Ian and look where she’s going. It’s downhill on the way to the beach so her ears blow back in the breeze and she looks quite comical.
This painting was done from a photo of Daisy in the bike basket, taken at home before we set off for the beach. I redid the background as the garage door didn’t make a very appealing backdrop for the painting! I think Daisy’s front legs look a bit thin in the painting but that was actually how they looked in the photo!
