A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ARTWORK

A little lion with absolutely no objection to being spoiled.

The Shih Tzu has mastered a very particular combination.

Regal hair.

Big personality.

Lapdog expectations.

Curtis’s words capture all of it.

Adorable. Affectionate. Beloved. Charming. Cuddly. Precious. Snuggle. Sweet.

Then come the details Shih Tzu people will recognize immediately:

Long Silky Coat.

Need Hair Brushed Daily.

Underbite.

Spoiled.

And tucked inside the portrait is the breed’s wonderful name story:

Name Is Chinese For Little Lion.

Curtis spent 13 hours drawing 67 different words and phrases into this Shih Tzu.

From across the room, you fall for the face.

Up close, the little lion explains the arrangement.

Detail of the original hand-drawn lettering in Shih Tzu

Lettering detail from Shih Tzu.

The Shih Tzu gave me a very affectionate word list.

Adorable. Beloved. Best Friend. Charming. Cuddly. Happy. Love. Loving. Precious. Snuggle. Sweet.

Then the personality started showing up with Spoiled, Stubborn and Possessive.

I also had Long Silky Coat, Underbite and Name Is Chinese For Little Lion.

I used 67 different words and phrases and spent 13 hours drawing them into the finished Shih Tzu.

It is always fun when the words sound a little like the dog is describing itself.
