This is a new release for Spring 2015. A welcome return to Nigel's more narrative limited edition artworks and here we can project onto the image a story - perhaps of your own springer spaniel? - with the jackets and the wellies and the dog waiting eagerly for a walk, even grabbing the lead in its mouth!

This picture and the accompany other versions of the print are dedicated to Nigel's friend Mary Cook, who sadly passed away in Summer 2014 and whose house the image is set.

As soon as I saw this image I was reminded of Nigel Hemming's best selling piece from the 1990s: 'Anticipation' and it could almost be the same dog and perhaps the same lead! Fantastic that Nigel has chosen to revisit such collector favourites from the 1990s and given them a different artistic touch.

This sure is to sell well with owners of Gun Dogs.

As you look and admire this latest release by Nigel Hemming, you can't help but think of the brand of battery which used to be on national TV advert and how apt that man's best friend is also 'Ever Ready' for walkies!

The box canvas finish on this artwork gives a lovely contemporary feel to a classic dog art scene and can go onto a wall in your home, with no frame needed.

Having seen the original to this piece in the flesh, I can say that this limited edition print, on box canvas, is a fantastic almost near copy of the original and is must own piece for Nigel's many fans

Your chance to own the original painting that was actually used to make the limited edition print 'Ever Ready' and at an extremely competitive price for such an emotive original.

Who could resist this liver & white springer spaniel, so patiently waiting for his master to take him for a walk. The question is will they need the welly boots today or not?

Item is framed and the finished size is 730mm x 630 mm and its of course an oil painting, Nigel's speciality!
