Laughing Labrador | Colourful Pop Art Dog Portrait Wall Art Print

About Laughing Labrador

A square, close-cropped portrait of a smiling cream-coloured Labrador fills almost the whole canvas, its head tilted slightly and its pink tongue hanging over the lower jaw. The fur is drawn as flowing yellow and cream strokes bound by thick black outlines, then decorated with rows of coloured dots, dashes and small circles in pink, turquoise, orange and lime. A magenta star sits on the left cheek and a burst of dots and rays radiates above the right eye. The nose is a solid olive-green shape with two dark nostrils.

Behind the dog the background splits into flat sky blue on the left and grass green across the top right, both marked with pale scratched lines and small floating ovals. The brown eyes are ringed with red lashes and tiny blue and orange flecks, which keeps the expression alert and friendly rather than cartoonish. The character of the piece is cheerful and loud: a familiar family dog turned into a decorative pattern, where every strand of fur becomes an excuse for another line of colour.

Suits a kids room, playroom, nursery or family hallway, and works above a low bookshelf or bunk bed. The blue and green background sits well with white or pale timber walls, primary-coloured bedding and other animal prints. Hang it as a single square or beside two smaller pet portraits for a small gallery wall. Browse more multi-coloured art, pop art, blue art, or read Art above the bed: what size and how high.
