Watercolor Rest — Stray Dogs of Nicaragua (Peta Kaplan) — Framed Poster (Premium Matte)

Painted in loose amber washes that run and drip down the page, a tan dog sleeps stretched on its side, muzzle to the ground. The looser the paint gets, the heavier the sleep looks — an animal that has finally let go.

An original oil painting by Peta Kaplan, from a series painted during the five years she and her partner, Ben, made their home in the colonial city of Granada, Nicaragua. 

The streets were full of strays, and Peta didn't only paint them — she cared for them, volunteering at the local clinic and serving on an emergency response team for animals that were wounded or abandoned. 

Part of the Green Global Trek collection — Stray Dogs of Nicaragua, painted on location in Granada.
