Artist Reflections
A large white dog stands at the heart of this painting—possibly a Great Pyrenees, though I didn’t set out to depict a specific breed. Still, I can’t help but think of Lobo, our Pyrenees mix, who wandered up to our door one day and decided to stay. Living out in the country, we often find strays at our doorstep—dogs looking for shelter, food, or maybe just a little kindness. We never know where they come from, but we always try to help. Sometimes we’re able to reunite them with their owners. Other times, they become part of our family.
The dog in this painting isn’t Lobo, but something in its posture, its coat, its quiet presence reminds me of him. That kind of memory tends to find its way into the brushwork, whether I plan for it or not.
