AEO 2026 – “Golden Retriever Jean Jacket”_Cole - Art Possible Ohio

Painted on the back of a blue denim jacket is the forward‑moving face of a golden retriever. The dog’s head fills the center, framed by long ears that flare outward. Brushstrokes in orange, buff, white, and blue define fur, shadows, and highlights. Bold orange marks emphasize contours around the eyes, ears, and muzzle, while deep blue shadows shape the face and chest. White highlights brighten the eyes, nose, and tongue. Surrounding the dog is a dense field of green, yellow, magenta, and blue paint. The denim jacket shows frayed seams and worn edges and is displayed on a dressmaker’s form.
