About the Artwork
---
Wintypals is a series of illustrations based on the daily life of Winty, the red poodle. He is a peculiar red poodle who does not posses the typical poodle personality & behaviour. As an example, he hates being groomed (said no poodle ever), hence the messy, dreadlock-y and frizzy hair. He doesn't like being carried like an arm candy, but he loves car rides and going on a long hike.
In this particular print, the artist portrays Winty and the ghosts of her old dogs hanging out at home. Her home is styled in mid-century minimalist design , which has influenced the artist greatly. She admires the way the era celebrates pets and their relationship with furnitures inside a home. It adds sentimental value in which the artist will cherish forever.
