About Clay Season

Clay Season is painted for the slow, dusty rallies of clay-court tennis, where every point is earned and the ball dog keeps one eye on the ball and the other on the game. It is one of three paintings in The Tennis Dogs collection.

This one-of-a-kind portrait work focuses on a dachshund looking back over its shoulder on a red clay court, with one tennis ball on the line, using burgundy and terracotta clay tones, a bright tennis-ball yellow, and a crisp white court line. The result is an original acrylic and mixed media painting with a clear subject, visible handmade texture, and the warmth of a personal story.

It suits a reading nook, study, or warm interior where an earthy, playful original can hold the wall.
