Meet B A R N E Y the Beagle
8x8” acrylic on MDF

Ever wonder what it’s like to see the world through the eyes—and the nose—of a curious pup? Barney can tell you all about it. He’s on a daily mission to sniff out everything. Yes, EVERYTHING.

From the moment he wakes up, his nose is the boss. “What’s for breakfast?” Sniff sniff. “Is that the postman outside?” Sniff sniff. “Wait, did someone drop a crumb in the next suburb?” Sniff sniff—oh yes, he can smell it from that far.

Barney’s curiosity is matched only by his determination to uncover every single scent on the planet. You might think this leaves no time for play, but you’d be wrong. After a solid hour of nose-to-ground investigative work, Barney loves nothing more than to kick back with a cozy nap, snoring like he’s been working a full-time job.

In this portrait, I’ve caught him in one of his most iconic poses: nose first, world second! That snout has quite the personality—just like Barney.

If you’ve ever been lucky enough to meet Barney, you’ll know that with him, the nose always knows

Dream it, paint it!
