Dogmocracy
About this artwork
Inspired by the German Shepherd for their loyalty and dedication, artist Jeff Fleming paints a portrait of the canine. He displays the stars and stripes background to emphasize freedom Ñ and fun. Jeff starts with a pencil sketch and applies oil paint using his fingers then adds details with brushes and string for decorative patterns. I whisk paint in random strokes, a technique which adds a boost of energy, says Jeff.
