Medium: Acrylic on acid-washed steel
Dimensions: 32" W × 18" H
Original Artwork — One of One
Available for Purchase
Three Little Frogs is an original work on acid-washed steel inspired by Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds, reimagining the song’s familiar sense of optimism and ease through three small frogs gathered along a handcrafted steel branch.
Extending forward from the painted surface and beyond the edge of the panel, the three-dimensional branch blurs the line between painting and sculpture. The natural patina and variation of the acid-washed steel remain visible throughout the composition, giving the piece an organic quality that complements its playful subjects.
Created entirely by hand, Three Little Frogs is a one-of-one original, signed by the artist.
About the Medium
Each steel panel is individually acid washed to develop its own natural patina before the painting process begins. Rather than covering the steel, Doug works with the variations already present in the metal, allowing its color, texture, and imperfections to become part of the finished artwork.
The result is a piece that changes subtly with its surroundings and carries the unmistakable character of the steel beneath the painting.
