A golden retriever stands in profile against a soft white ground, rendered entirely in textured gold leaf that catches light with subtle dimension and warmth. The figure is composed of loose, organic marks that suggest the dog's long coat and alert posture while maintaining an elegant simplicity. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
