Good Boy – Acrylic on Canvas
18"x18" | Original Painting by Jeanette Johnson2023
Meet Good Boy, an original 18" × 18" acrylic painting by Jeanette Johnson created in 2023. This charming portrait pays homage to a loyal Red Heeler—vibrant, intense, and full of character.
Rendered with expressive brushwork and a muted, earthy palette, Good Boy captures the tension of a working dog ready to bring in the cattle. Like a tightly wound spring, the red heeler is ready and willing to jump into action with all of the energy of a jet engine. Energetic, intelligent, and loyal, these muscular dogs were originally bred for herding cattle over long distances in Australia. The term "Red Heeler" refers to their tendency to nip at the heels of cattle to move them along.
The square canvas format invites a close connection—framing his gaze in a way that feels both personal and intense. Rooted in Jeanette’s signature style, this piece brings together her love of landscape, animals, and layered color.
Why it makes a perfect addition to your space:
Centered and intimate – the square format draws you in, wondering which steer is going to be chased first!
Emotion meets landscape heritage – even in a pet portrait, Jeanette’s familiar style comes through, depicting the stocky and loyal red heeler out in the pasture, ready to work along side its master.
Ready to welcome home – shipping included, and arrives ready to hang—just open the box and let Good Boy bring joy and companionship to any room.
Whether you're drawn to expressive pet art, building a collection filled with heart, or simply want a piece that reminds you of a beloved working dog, Good Boy brings a grounded, familiar joy into your home or office.
