A golden retriever looks out with bright, dark eyes and an open-mouthed, tongue-out expression that captures the sheer joy of a much-loved companion. Golden and cream brushstrokes gather around the face, breaking into loose, fluttering marks against a pale blue background. Warm, lively and full of affection, Golden Spirit brings that familiar welcoming presence into the home.
Golden Spirit is part of Rosie Smith’s Fragmented series, a collection of close-up animal portraits where the subject emerges from loose, painterly marks, blurring the boundary between animal and background.
