This 10” round oil painting on canvas shows our favorite dog, Raffles, in his favorite environment in upstate New York. Started as a landscape painting showing a contrast between the warm orange forest floor and the cool green pine trees, this painting accentuates the lichen against the pink and purple chroma on the strong vertical tree trunks. After Raffles came into the scene to pose, he was memorialized in oil paint! His fur also took on cool subtle purple hues. The round canvas gives this piece a kitsch mountain feel.
