Description
This is Phillip, rendered in a semi-abstract, expressive style. The dog's face is the clear focal point—realistically painted with a high level of detail and life like emotion, especially in the eyes, which are vibrant and reflective, adding soul to the portrait.
Surrounding the dog is a textured, abstract background composed of large, brushy blocks of ochre yellow, cream, muted sage green, and white. The background contrasts with the realism of the dog, giving the piece a modern, contemporary feel. It uses thick, visible brushstrokes and palette knife techniques to create layered textures, giving the work an energetic and somewhat spontaneous quality.
