The little ceramic figurine of the dog, in this painting, is a prewar import from Japan.
It has been in the family for as far back as I can remember, and I believe it was probably
purchased for pennies at a neighborhood dime-store. I'm sure that it was played with by
a small boy or two, but somehow the little guy survived without being broken, cracked or
chipped. For seven decades or more, he has been faithfully standing guard, wherever he
was placed, and from time to time, he shows up in still-life paintings.

This is a fairly traditional still-life painting. The single, oriental lilly blossom was
snipped from a full stalk of blossoms, to use as a means of giving a sense of scale,
for viewers to be able to judge the size of the figurine.
Giclee fine-art prints of this painting are available.
