Chihuahua Study 001, 2026

Oil on canvas, 5 × 7 in

Loose, visible brushstrokes give the portrait a raw, emotional quality, inviting the viewer to linger and connect.

This small-scale work is part of an ongoing exploration of animal portraiture and character, celebrating overlooked moments of tenderness and resilience.
