The monotone of the work has the lovely feel of being on the beach on a cool day. The profile really captures the unique curve of the bully head with its subtle underlying angles and signature, dark, small, triangular eyes.
Mason is a dog portrait artist. His contemporary dog portraits take a modern approach with a hint of the traditional while still having a free spirited feeling.
Mason works in varied media such as charcoal and ink washes, on canvas, using a loose and free style which is sensitive to the use of line. This technique compliments the canine subject in a fresh new light. Mason's work can be seen at ianmasonportraits.com.
