Dogs and Roses - A Transformation Story
Dogs and Roses began as the abstract painting shown in the second image.
At that stage, it held only movement, texture, and emotion without form. Over time, the painting changed—responding to moments in the artist’s life, shifting thoughts, remembered places, passing conversations, and quiet dreams.
Layer upon layer was added, not all at once, but slowly, sometimes deliberately and sometimes intuitively. Each layer became part of the painting’s history, holding traces of different times, ideas, moods, and inner reflections. Nothing was erased—everything remained beneath the surface, shaping what came next.
Every brushstroke carries meaning. Some strokes reflect certainty, others uncertainty, but all of them belong to the journey. The final image emerged through patience and trust, shaped by emotion as much as technique.
What you see in Dogs and Roses is more than the finished scene. It is a record of time—of thoughts, places, feelings, and imagination—layered together and preserved within the canvas.
