Small Contemporary Painting By Karibou - Deception (Disappointment) - 10¾" x 6¼"

Deception [Disappointment] is a small, unframed horizontal oil on canvas, painted with soft, feathery strokes in mossy greens, slate blues, and muted ochres to form a breezy meadow beneath a heavy sky. In the mid-ground, a lone figure in a dark blue jacket and pale trousers sits on a stump with head bowed, a small brown dog resting faithfully at their side, while loosely brushed trees frame the scene to left and right. The cool sky and murmuring greens lend a tender melancholy, the figure’s inward posture and the dog’s quiet presence suggesting a moment of solitude softened by companionship.

This gentle meadow scene offers its custodians a moment of quiet honesty, a reminder of the solace found in pausing. The tender exchange between the contemplative figure and the loyal dog brings warmth and emotional grounding to any space, making the painting a subtle companion during both reflective days and brighter ones. Its soft palette and horizontal sweep of landscape create an atmosphere of calm that can soothe a busy room or enrich a quiet corner, inviting a sense of stillness that feels both intimate and enduring.
