There's Always A Dog

A playful, quietly symbolic still life, There Is Always A Dog brings together a collection of cherished vessels, jugs and handmade forms arranged across a golden yellow table cloth. Rich cobalt blues, warm ochres ad soft lavender tones create a vibrant dialogue between colour and shape while the small winged dog perched on top of the tartan just provides an element of whimsy. 

Painted in expressive, intuitive styled, the work balances stillness and movement. The energetic brushwork and luminous colour palette bring warmth and life to the arrangement, inviting the views to linger. The dog becomes both a focal point and a metaphor: a faithful presence that appears throughout life's journeys whether real, remembered or imagined. 

It's a joyful meditation on companionship, memory and the quiet magic hidden in everyday objects.
