The Dog You Feed is an evocative abstract acrylic painting created with painter knives, characterized by strong vertical movement and heavily textured surfaces. A restrained palette of deep charcoal black, slate gray, steel blue, and soft off-white dominates the composition, creating striking contrasts between light and shadow. Thick knife-applied strokes form fractured layers and broken passages of color, suggesting distance, separation, and quiet tension within the space. The vertical structure and rugged impasto lend the painting a stark, contemplative presence, with scraped and overlapping textures reinforcing the emotional weight implied by the title. The Dog You Feed is inspired by the Sitting Bull Quote about The quote by Sitting Bull states: "Inside of me there are two dogs. One is mean and evil and the other is good and they fight each other all the time. When asked which one wins I answer, the one I feed the most." This quote reflects the internal struggle between opposing forces within oneself.
