Style 03 of 06
Renaissance
Oil-painted, three-quarter turn, a dark ground and a costume your pet did not consent to. Deliberately absurd, and the one style people frame most often.

Six pets, one style
The style is fixed; the result is not. Coat colour, ear shape and snout length change what comes back, so each of these is unmistakably Renaissance and unmistakably a different animal.
Duke
English bulldog
Sweatshirt · one pet
Jowls and a wrinkled brow were made for oil paint. Printed on a sweatshirt the folds still carry the whole likeness.
Willa
Bernese mountain dog
Framed print · one pet
Tricolour markings map straight onto a formal collar and sash. The mount gives the composition the air it needs.
Mochi
Cream french bulldog
11oz ceramic mug
A pale flat face with almost no modelling — so the style supplies it, in glaze and shadow, around the cylinder.
Rocket
Italian greyhound
Phone case
The thinnest dog we paint, in the heaviest costume we paint. On a case back the joke lands in about a second.
Ruby
Cocker spaniel
Throw pillow
Long feathered ears become drapery. On a cushion the drapery and the fabric are doing the same thing.
Vito
Dobermann
Framed print · lifestyle
Cropped ears, level stare, deep red ground. Hung above a sideboard it stops being funny and starts being a portrait.
