About the Artwork
This image was created in a quiet park just north of Washington, DC, where two guinea pig brothers, Sunny and Skye, settled beside a small stream. Although it looks like a private conversation, both were simply waiting for a bell pepper treat being held just outside the frame. The photograph received international recognition and was my highest-scoring entry at the International Pet Photography Awards. Judges described it as “two guinea pigs having a gossip,” a simple moment that turned into a refined and expressive portrait. It was captured in May 2025.
A Refined Choice for Commercial Interiors
This piece has a calm presence that works well in upscale commercial spaces. It brings warmth without feeling playful or casual, which is why it fits naturally in lobbies, reception areas, wellness environments, boutique offices, veterinary practices, and hospitality settings. Guests tend to pause for a moment when they see it, and the artwork often becomes an easy conversation point without ever feeling attention-seeking.
Acrylic Finish and Framing
The photograph is produced as a framed acrylic print. Acrylic offers exceptional clarity and depth and is known for its ability to elevate color and fine detail. The clean, polished surface gives the artwork a gallery-quality look that suits modern and luxury interiors. Each piece arrives ready to hang and is designed to maintain its vibrant appearance over time.
