No. 011, in ten platesWoman and Her Dog
A woman, a black dog, and a garden of teal leaves: ten studies in keeping each other company.
These are paintings built from small square strokes, laid on with a knife so the surface breaks into tiles of jade, bottle green, limewash and dusty teal. The effect sits somewhere between oil paint and mosaic. Every plate repeats the same pairing, a slender woman with her hair pinned up and a dog painted as a near-black silhouette, so the ten scenes read like one patient sitting returned to again and again.
She is usually turned away or looking down. In one plate she wears a white dress beside a dog seated on broad leaves; in another she stands in a straw hat, holding a lead while a long-legged hound waits at her side. Her gown becomes a cascade of round green leaves and copper flowers, with a small dog sitting at the hem. Elsewhere she rests a hand on a curly dog's head, or stands in a strappy dress while her companion sits bolt upright on a ledge.
Most plates put the woman's head in the upper third, so the clock overlaps her hair or the pale wall beside it. The muted values keep the time readable, but this is not a blank-sky series. The dog almost always sits low, which places the darkest mass right where the dock goes. On a Home Screen the mid-tone greens are forgiving with white labels, and the paintings look richer in dark mode than in light.
It suits dog people with a taste for interiors, plant collectors, and anyone who wants a wallpaper that looks like a painting borrowed from a friend's hallway. Bowed Head and The White Dress are free to download in full resolution; the other eight are premium.
She never looks at us. The dog sometimes does.

Tender, quiet, botanical, contemplative. Palette-knife oil painting, sized for every iPhone up to 2160 × 4800.
On the Lock Screen
The Straw Hat and Under the Palms leave a pale, leafy upper wall, so the clock sits on painted light rather than across her face.
On the Home Screen
The dog's dark silhouette sits low and gives the dock a solid base, while mid-greens keep white labels legible.

About Woman and Her Dog.
Is the dog always the same breed?
No. Most are sleek, long-legged black hounds, but one plate has a curly-coated dog under the woman's hand and the leaf-gown plates show a small, stocky one. All are painted as near-black shapes, which is what ties them together.
Will such muted paintings look muddy on a phone?
They are soft by design, but the light wall behind the woman lifts each plate. The White Dress and The Straw Hat are the brightest if you want more contrast.
Can I download all ten?
Yes, in two ways. Bowed Head and The White Dress are free and save in full resolution; the other eight are premium, at 10 credits each in the pxCream app (yours to re-download forever) or all of them with Unlimited.
