Weathered Springer Spaniel

This Springer Spaniel is not technically vintage at all!   It was hand painted by Santosh Shrestha for a hotel in Pokhara, modelled after a Springer Spaniel that he had done for me in 2007.   But it looks vintage.   He did not prep it as he would do for my commissioned pieces.    Still, that patina looks great.   If I were to buy this, I would add a clear coating to preserve its present condition.
