The Philosopher

9 X 12 Inch Original mixed media oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas.  Ready to hang.

This series is a playful and poignant love letter to the pug spirit, loyal, expressive, and quietly wise. Through cosmic color, blooming flowers, and soulful eyes, each portrait becomes more than just a dog, it becomes a mirror of emotion, mischief, memory, and presence. Whether wearing a flower crown or a backward cap, each pug holds court with full-hearted energy and a look that says: I’ve seen things.

In the surreal world they inhabit, joy grows wild, roses remember, and even the quietest creature carries a galaxy behind its eyes. This is a series about celebration, of character, of color, and of love in its purest, furriest form.

With a backward cap and a no-nonsense gaze, this pug has lived a hundred lives. His eyes hold poetry, protest, and a touch of rebellion. The flowers soften him, but not too much.
