Description This is my first watercolor done on the new Fredrics canvas. Painting was done for the Art of Chocolate, a fundraiser for the local art center. While trying to come up with something chocolate to paint. The Chocolate Lab came to mind, even though you do not want a dog near chocolate, it ended up as a cute image.
