Après-Midi Ludique


Gaspard is the name of the little dog in this painting. The name Gaspard means "treasure keeper" and is French for the American name Casper. While most older dogs love to sleep the day away, Gaspard prefers to play all afternoon long in the orchard. He is a firm believer in George Bernard Shaw's quote, "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing."
