ABOUT "SHIELD", THE PAINTING
"What are the things in life that give you comfort and make you feel a sense of security and well-being? Family, friends, music and for those of us who love animals, our canine companions. It has been said that dogs are a furry shield against melancholy. When the atmosphere closes in and the stress of responsibility or the conditions of the world around us become much to bear, the steady heartbeat and quiet presence of our Greyhounds are there for us. It seems to be a symbiotic relationship that we share with them. We give them the resources they need to survive, and they give us all their love and devotion. Their silky linear form is visually soothing. They make us laugh sometimes when we need it most. No matter what is happening in the world outside our homes, those of us with Greyhounds are extremely fortunate souls."
SHIELD is a 24 x 30" oil on canvas with gallery finished edges by Denise Saleh. This piece has a vibrant red background with subtle undertones of orange and pink all underneath a dark distressed glaze. The blue grey tones in the Greyhound offset his almost illuminated eyes. This piece may be hung with or without frame.
