Queen of Shiba, Original Oil Painting by Iris Scott

This painting features Suki, a spirited Shiba Inu who fully embodies her title as the self-proclaimed “Queen of Shiba.” Known for her regal sass and endless antics, Suki is captured mid-spin, shaking off water—and perhaps her royal blues—in a moment of gleeful abandon. The thick oils, applied entirely by hand, create a richly textured surface that mirrors her larger-than-life personality. Swirling blues and radiant whites evoke the playful chaos of water in motion, while the loose abstraction celebrates her unpredictable charm. True to Suki’s dramatic flair, when the painting is turned upside down, her image dissolves into a riot of color, as if her royal essence is too dynamic to contain in a single perspective. It’s a tribute to her unique blend of mischief and majesty.
