Small Contemporary Painting By Karibou - Cher Petit Larry (Dear little Larry) - 14¼" x 14¼"

Cher petit Larry [Dear little Larry] is an oil on cardboard rendered with soft, feathered brushwork and light scumbling. In a compact, square composition, a small, cream‑colored dog faces the viewer, its muzzle and ears caught by warm ochres while the form gently dissolves into a dappled field of slate blue and dove gray. The absence of a defined setting gives the figure a tender, hovering presence, and the lower right bears a discreet signature. The mood is intimate and affectionate, like a cherished memory brought into focus just enough to feel close. Soft edges and a hushed palette create a quiet, contemplative atmosphere, while the steady gaze conveys loyalty and calm. There is even a hint of a guardian presence here, the cloud-like background giving the figure an almost angelic stillness. The overall impression is one of gentle devotion, a small portrait that soothes and invites the viewer to linger in its warmth.
