Guard Dogs Number 27 kept calling for more paint until those dogs stood right out. I added gold leaf to the bottom frame, and brass tacks to give it some snap.
I like how the three big dogs balance out the small dog and moon facing them. I see this as a sort of visual joke, that the small one can stand off all of the three big ones. The big dogs bounce off the little one and then come back to rest at the center of the piece. Those pearly white teeth, that's another visual joke. The dogs are smiling and they are snarling. You can't tell which.
