Painting Oil on Canvas by Bob Meyer: Rose, Framed

A pale head tips back, ears down, nose to the corner of the canvas.

Rose is a framed oil on canvas by Bob Meyer, from France, dated 2014. A soft, cream-colored form, which looks very like a dog's lifted head, rises across the picture from the lower left. Thin orange lines drift over a ground of grey, silver and rust, and the surface is thickly worked with visible ridges. A wide linen liner sits inside a heavily carved frame in silver and dark brown. Image 12.5 by 10.5 inches, framed 18.5 by 16 high.

Rose seems to be enjoying the sun. The frame works much harder than she does.
