Tassel – The Cushion Acrobat

Part of the “Fluff & Florals” Series
8x8" Acrylic on MDF Panel

Tassel doesn’t just move - Tassel launches. A blur of fluff and flair, this four-legged dynamo lives in a world governed by one rule: gravity is more of a suggestion than a law.

Perched precariously one moment and mid-air the next, Tassel turns every room into a stage, every cushion into a launchpad, and every nap into a dramatic pause before the next stunt. Even in stillness, there’s a twitch of readiness, a barely-there hum like a coiled spring dressed in velvet fur.

Tassel’s daily routine might include:

• Vaulting off the back of the lounge with Olympic precision

• Performing dramatic landings into freshly folded laundry (bonus points for disarray)

• Shadow-chasing with a level of commitment most actors would envy

Favourite pastime? That would be furniture parkour - equal parts flair, finesse, and a deep-seated belief that throw pillows are just there for show. Whether it’s an ottoman, a rug, or a conveniently placed houseplant, Tassel views it all as part of an elaborate, self-curated agility course.

In this expressive portrait, Tassel’s energy is caught mid-bounce - ears alert, eyes scanning for the next dramatic entrance or daring leap. The swirl of background florals is no match for the real showstopper here: pure, uncontainable enthusiasm in dog form.

Tassel lives somewhere between nap and chaos. Between cuddle and cannonball. And while most dogs slow down after a sprint, Tassel simply recalibrates for a more creative route.

After all, why walk when you could fly?
