Description:
Artist Statement: "I took a picture of my son’s bulldog, Tinker Bell, snoozing. I knew I had to paint this picture and bring it to life. As ink flowed, painting her sleepy folds was irresistible; then, threadpainting detailed each crease meticulously, mimicking her skin’s texture. Stitches brought out depth, capturing her relaxed form while tracing the contours of her skin and every slumbering wrinkle."
