Rounded cartoon volume with contour-bending brush marks that shade face, hair, coats and clothing; coherent depth, contact and occlusion; the surface reads as brushed paint over matte form, eyes keeping their own character and animals their species features. Simplify to big silhouette, pose and color areas. Below fingertip scale use only drawn contours and tonal marks. Eyes and nose are drawn shapes with one drawn highlight. Medium texture visible everywhere. Detail stays brushed end to end: strands mass in groups and eye shine stays flat. A tall scene of a dog wearing a knitted sweater sitting among tall library shelves, an open book on a reading table and a warm lamp beside it, dusty golden light; no people, a modelled cartoon volume described by visible brush-like marks that wrap around it, the dog and shelves rising through the tall frame. No readable text, lettering, signs or logos anywhere; the picture fills the whole frame edge to edge, painted right to the borders with no blank margin, no checkerboard or transparency pattern.
Palette: red wool, warm wood and soft gold; charming, bookish.
Tall 9:16 portrait frame, composed vertically with the main line of the scene rising through the height of the frame.
