Marhin, Murphy, and Casper is a tender painting that captures a moment of quiet protection and innocence, showing a baby girl nestled between two white boxers who sit alert and watchful, their gaze fixed on the viewer. Though the scene radiates domestic warmth, the dogs' protective posture adds a sense of strength and guardianship. Based on a photograph, the painting thoughtfully explores the concept of memory—softening the edges of the figures and replacing the couch in the background with a faint, ghostly line drawing. This intentional abstraction reflects how memory often blurs details, preserving only what matters most: the presence, the bond, and the feeling created by the moment. The dogs, belonging to the baby’s grandparents, serve not only as companions but as symbols of generational love and watchfulness, anchoring the child safely in a world remembered with affection and care.
