Dog Days

This painting is from my "Cheesecake Boy" series, depicting male models who can’t seem to keep their clothes on. Thanks to the K9 appeal of our latest Cheesecake Boy’s jeans in "Dog Days," puppy-initiated depantsings are no longer reserved for just sunscreen bottles. In a delightful, mid-afternoon backyard setting, man’s best friend unleashes a revelatory inspection of his owner’s unmentionables. And of course this brief exposure occurs in open view of lucky neighbors and passersby. A Cheesecake Boy, always suave and collected, must face these daily hindrances to staying dressed with trademark composure. So even with a dog on a mission and trousers around his knees, our boy doesn’t fret. He knows he’s got what it takes, despite the curious puppy trying to strip it away. Confidence intact even if his pants aren’t, our Cheesecake Boy reminds us all that life’s difficult moments are like dirt stains and dog slobber – they all come out in the wash.
