Description
A vertical painting of a chaotic scene within a blue prison cell: There are two men interacting with dogs. There are eight dogs. One man is fighting for something from a dog's mouth, he is covered in paint, and a different dog is pulling at the bottom of his t-shirt. The other man is painting peacefully with one dog in his lap, and one at his feet wearing his hat. There are two dogs resting on the top of a bunk bed, one dripping green paint from the paws, another resting. On the bottom bunk there is a dog observing the stuggle between the man and two dogs. Finally there is a dog smiling with it's tongue out dripping in yellow paint at the botom left.
