This piece is an oil painting done for my Painting IIIB class. The assignment was to create a matching series for the semester. Because of my access to this abundant source material, I chose Neglected and Abused animals as the theme.
This Boxer was brought into the shelter extremely malnourished and with her feet swollen and burned. There was some confusion in my critique about where the dog was standing. She is in one of the cement dog kennels at the Animal Shelter. The floor is textured and painted concrete with a drain hole in the back.
