A grand-scale exercise in anthropomorphic charm, this 5ft x 5ft oil painting reimagines the traditional military portrait through a canine lens. The subject, an alert and self-assured Westie, gazes out from beneath the brim of an RCMP Stetson, embodying the steadfast spirit of the Mountie. The vibrant crimson of the uniform commands the space, contrasting beautifully with the cool tones of the background and the bright white of the terrier. This piece playfully challenges our perceptions of power while celebrating the inherent character of this beloved Scottish breed.
