The Painted Dog, 30 x 40 cm

The Painted Dog’s fur stands out in sharp contrast and detail in this bright oil portrait against a blurred, dappled background, the background bringing out the natural patterns and highlights of the Painted Dog’s coat.

The portrait accentuates the Wild Dog’s features with the sunlight creating intense colour in the dog’s eyes and fur, while the patterns of the fur draw your eyes across every detail in the painting so that you don’t miss an inch of the wonderful animal. 

The Painted Dog is a beautiful animal to behold. Their natural beauty is already described and seen here and I hope that my painting does them justice and brings you as close to seeing the real thing as possible.
