Kailani of Canis major

A thick-coated white dog with pointed ears and an open, panting mouth sits centered in a snowy clearing, wearing a dark bandana printed with its name; behind it a row of small snow-roofed houses and bare trees recedes toward a dark tree line, with snow falling steadily across the whole scene.

Rendered in black ink with soft gray wash across the sky and midground, and fine scratchy linework for the dog's fur, the image contrasts a toned backdrop with crisp white highlights left as bare paper; the loose, energetic mark-making and warm expression give the piece a lighthearted, storybook feel.
