Chihuahua Study 037, 2026

Acrylic and Gouache on paper, 5 × 7 in

This gouache study presents a chihuahua rendered with softness and sensitivity. Light, feathery brushstrokes and a muted palette give the portrait an intimate, vulnerable quality, emphasizing the breed’s delicate features and emotional depth. The slightly off-center gaze and loose handling invite empathy, capturing a fleeting, humanlike presence.

Part of a small series exploring chihuahuas through expressive color and gesture, this work reflects themes of care, fragility, and quiet resilience.

25% of proceeds from this painting will be donated to a chihuahua rescue or animal charity, helping support dogs in need of protection and loving homes.
