Painting - Oil With Gold Leaf

Description

The worldwide selfie culture inspires this oil painting; it is an oil painting of a dog with his camera taking a selfie of himself. The painting is inspired by and a tribute to all the many selfies people take. I love how this dog is showing us his photo that he has just taken – he is saying, “look at me and how totally adorable I am.”

It makes me wonder if dogs and other animals could use a phone or camera would they also be taking photos of themselves to show off something to their friends? Would they say on their Facebook or Instagram page “look at me I got to ride in the front seat of the car all the way to the park,” or “look at this nice big bone I had to chew on and did not have to share with anyone?”

This oil painting is in tribute to all our canine friends who get stuck in a selfie with us or watch us take our own selfies. This painting is about them showing us that if they had the latest iPhone, they could also take their own selfies.
