Shakin' Wet Dogs

Iris Scott is a groundbreaking oil finger-painting artist, widely credited as the first professional artist to exclusively paint with her fingertips. For a decade, from 2010 to 2020, she committed to finger painting alone, creating richly textured, tactile works without ever picking up a brush. Her iconic finger-painted Shakin’ Wet Dogs collection, thick with impasto and alive with swirling energy, exemplifies this style. Each piece captures the carefree spirit of dogs mid-shake, their joyful motion frozen in vivid, expressive strokes—a theme that’s become beloved among collectors.
