'Bruiser' is inspired by my love of dogs and their loyalty, compassion and companionship. The choice of the colour pink was used to juxtapose the tough name of 'Bruiser' with the playfulness and sweetness that dogs often have.
This painting was develop in a series of paintings created to showcase 'Animal Spirit Meanings'.
In general, dog symbolism is a reminder that kindness will often get you a lot further than criticism. In other words, dog meaning prompts you to allow yourself to be gentle with those around you.Â
