Resting Rev
Sometimes the First Lady just needs to put her paws up.
Resting Rev captures a quieter side of Miss Rev — relaxed, watchful, and perfectly content to keep an eye on Aggieland from a comfortable spot. Without a blanket, bandana, or holiday attire competing for attention, this piece is simply about Reveille herself: that beautiful collie face, those unmistakable markings, and an expression that somehow manages to be both dignified and completely lovable.
Handcrafted and hand-painted by Finch & Timber artist and proud Texas A&M Class of ’94 graduate Dawn, Resting Rev puts the focus on the details of Reveille’s coat and expression. Fine brushwork builds the softness and movement of her fur, while subtle changes in color, highlight, and shadow bring warmth and life to her face.
There’s something especially endearing about seeing the Queen of Aggieland off duty. No ceremony required. She’s still Miss Rev.

About This Piece
Craftsmanship & Details
Handcrafted for Aggieland
Resting Rev captures a quieter side of Reveille — relaxed, watchful, and completely at home. Her long, reclining pose gives Dawn room to bring out the beautiful movement and character of her collie coat, from the sweep of her white ruff to the rich variations of sable, black, and white across her body.
The artwork begins on a carefully prepared wood panel and is painted in stages. After the initial painting, the silhouette is individually cut and the edges are sanded and primed. The piece then returns to the easel for final painting, edge work, touch-ups, and the small artistic decisions that happen along the way.
Because that process is done by hand, subtle variations in brushwork, color, texture, alignment, and finish are a natural part of the work. Each Resting Rev will have a character of her own.

Display & Finish
The back of Resting Rev is finished and fitted with Finch & Timber’s integrated display system. The included removable wooden stand slides securely into the rear support, allowing the piece to stand independently on a porch, patio, hearth, entryway, or other suitable surface.
Additional mounting hardware is also included for an optional rebar-style installation, giving Resting Rev another way to be displayed in a yard or landscape.
The completed piece receives an exterior-grade clear spar urethane protective finish and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor display. As with any handcrafted painted artwork, a protected or partially sheltered outdoor location will help preserve its appearance and finish over time.
Made One at a Time
Resting Rev is individually cut, painted, finished, and assembled rather than mass-produced. The result is a piece of handcrafted artwork in which small differences are not imperfections, but part of what makes each one distinctly its own.
