In the snows of the frozen arctic, a team of sled dogs strike a heroic pose...well, with one exception: a brown coated Greenland dog looks more ready to play as it holds a red ball in it's mouth. Behind the huskies the hooded driver of the sled is almost totally obscured by the winter mists of of the Yukon.
It's been a rather warm winter here in the Atlanta area and I haven't much been in the mood for snowy images, but a cold front came through in mid January and the temperatures finally dropped. It put me back in a wintry state of mind. So I decided to go with a REALLY cold looking artwork. It's rare for me to depict domestic animals, but I do so on occasion. I started with all heroic looking dogs in the team, but I decided to lighten it up a bit and have one of the dogs be more of a joker.

That's a bunch of energetic creatures 
I live further north than Anchorage and we have no snow on the ground or ice on the sea at the end of January. Utterly weird that

Four all business k-9s. And one who knows that there is still a chance for a little fun before the work begins. Love the story it tells. What will Master have in mind? Work or play?

(But it is an amazing idea!)

Lots to like: the atmosphere, the fur, the musher in the fog, but most of all: the red ball. That tiny spark of playful creativity does it for me! Well done!!
