Joy (2024) Original Watercolour by Ellen Kyrychenko

"Joy" is an original, expressive watercolour portrait that captures a moment of pure, infectious happiness and a bright dog's smile. The artwork masterfully contrasts the fine textures of the black dog's coat and its warm, lively eyes with a bold, vibrant green splash in the background. The energetic splatters add a modern, contemporary feel to this heart warming animal portrait.

Artist's note & inspiration: This piece is deeply personal to me. It was inspired by my own Cane Corso, who always seemed to be in a wonderful mood and had a magical way of cheering me up whenever I felt down. I painted this during my early period (2024) when I first began my journey into professional pet portraiture, which is why it features my early signature (initials) on the front.
