Dog
This painting depicts a single, colorful dog. With my dog collection, I am exploring texture and different media, mark-making and color, along with the expressive personality of individual dogs.
Acrylic paint and black sharpie marker on canvas, dimensions: 18 inches by 24 inches, 45.72 cm x 60.96 cm.
My current dog collection was inspired by my lifelong love for dogs and my involvement with various dog rescues over the years. I grew up in the countryside, surrounded by pet dogs and also strays, that were dumped in the forest. My Aunt was very involved in dog shows and as a child, I helped her show her Poodles and German Shepherds. In college, I began volunteering with dog rescues and am still involved now, and have fostered dogs (Shiba Inu). I currently have four dogs: a previously feral Chow Chow mix, a German Shepherd mix, a Great Pyrenees mix, and a Chihuahua. With my current dog collection, I am exploring texture and different media, mark-making and color, along with the expressive personality of individual dogs.
*Note: I leave the sides (edges) of my paintings unfinished, I also do not varnish my paintings (I avoid adding any unnecessary chemicals to any of my work). Finally, I do not have any hanging wire on the back of the paintings so that when purchased, the owner can easily have them framed or display them the way they prefer.
