A noble dog gazes directly at you with soulful dark eyes, its powerful presence rendered in bold, expressive strokes of cobalt blue, fiery red, deep burgundy, and touches of chartreuse. Nancy Iida captures the essence of this loyal companion with thick, sculptural applications of paint that give the portrait remarkable depth and character—each stroke contributing to the dignified strength radiating from this protective friend. The textured white background makes the vibrant colors of the dog's form pop forward, while the square format creates an intimate, portrait-like quality that draws you into connection with this steadfast guardian. "Security" celebrates the unwavering loyalty and quiet strength of dogs who stand watch over the ones they love, reminding us that true security comes not from walls or locks, but from the devoted presence of those who would do anything to keep us safe.
