About This Piece

The towel is wrapped around his head. The tight apricot curls poke out beneath, still damp at the tips and clinging in wet ringlets the way they only do for about ten minutes a year. His button eyes are dark and bright and looking at you like the bath is already over and now we are doing the next exciting thing, whatever that is, let's go.

If you have washed a Cockapoo, you know it. The curls go flat the second they hit the water. The dog you brought into the bathroom and the dog standing in the tub are not the same dog: under all that floof is a skinny little thing with sticky-up ears and the goofiest face on earth. Then the shake that sprays the ceiling. Then he launches out of the tub before you have the towel ready and turns the hallway into a racetrack, three figure-eights across the rug, the towel half on, half trailing, the zoomies of a Cockapoo who has just survived the worst ten minutes of his life and is now reborn.

This is a glossy ceramic art tile featuring an original watercolor and alcohol-ink portrait of an apricot Cockapoo puppy in towel-wrapped post-bath spa repose. The background is a stained-glass tile-grid pattern in soft peach and warm honey, with a few flecks of accent splatter and a wash of ink texture. The artwork fills the tile edge to edge, with no border and no frame baked into the print.

Finally, Cockapoo art that actually looks and feels like your dog, not a generic doodle.

Made for Cockapoo people. The ones whose dog gets greeted by name at three different parks because everyone in the neighborhood knows him.

What it is, and what it isn't

This is a real ceramic art tile, approximately 1/4 inch thick, with a glossy permanent finish. The artwork is permanently infused into the glossy ceramic surface under high pressure and temperature. The image becomes part of the surface itself.

It is NOT a sticker, decal, vinyl wrap, paper print, or laminate. The art cannot scratch off, peel, or wash away. Bathroom steam and humidity will not affect it.

Sizes

Five square sizes. Each one earns its place in a specific spot.

  • 2x2 inches: vanity countertop accent. Sits next to the soap dish or the amber perfume bottle. Reads as a small precious object.
  • 4x4 inches: spa-shelf size. Lives with the rolled towels, the bath salts jar, the single white candle. Group three on a wooden shelf for a styled spa moment.
  • 6x6 inches: powder room or floating shelf size. Visible from the doorway. Big enough to anchor a small wall.
  • 8x8 inches: bath caddy size. Leans against the wall on the wooden caddy that spans across a clawfoot tub. Held in place by the caddy lip, no extra stand needed.
  • 12x12 inches: statement size. Wall mounts in a thin black floating frame above a soaking tub, or centers on a fireplace mantle. Large enough to be the room's anchor piece.

Order multiples of one size to build a wall arrangement: four 4x4s in a 2x2 grid above an entryway console, or nine 4x4s as a 3x3 spa-wall grid above a bench. Message before ordering nine and I'll help plan the layout.

Display Options

Three ways to display. Pick one when you order.

  1. TILE ONLY: Just the ceramic tile. For buyers who want to lean it on a shelf, set it in their own frame, or wall-mount with their own hardware. No stand, no frame, no hanging hardware included.

  2. TILE + DISPLAY STAND: Includes a small black plate-stand that holds the tile upright with only the front feet visible: clean, modern, minimal furniture. Best for shelves, mantles, vanities, and console tables. Available for all five sizes.

  3. TILE + FLOATING FRAME: Includes a thin black floating frame designed to wall-mount. If you order the tile and the floating frame in the same order, I mount the tile into the frame here in our studio so it arrives ready to hang. If you order the tile and frame in separate orders, they ship unassembled and you mount the tile into the frame yourself.

Bathroom and indoor display

This piece is built for indoor display. Normal bathroom humidity is fine because the artwork is part of the ceramic surface, not a layer applied on top. Safe above a soaking tub, on a vanity, in a powder room, or on a spa shelf. Avoid prolonged direct sun and outdoor weather exposure. Not for direct submersion in water.

Care

Wipe with a dry or barely damp soft cloth. A drop of mild soap or glass cleaner is fine for fingerprints. Skip abrasive sponges, bleach, and harsh solvents. Not dishwasher safe. Not microwave safe.

Is this a portrait of my specific Cockapoo?

The Cockapoo in this artwork is an apricot Cockapoo puppy: the tight curly apricot coat, the dark button eyes, the floppy ears with longer curls hanging down, the slightly squared muzzle framed by the curls, the teddy-bear face. It is a Cockapoo, but it is not a portrait of YOUR specific Cockapoo.

If you want a custom portrait of your dog (apricot, cream, red, chocolate, black, parti, or any other coat), message before ordering. Custom dog portraits are available as a separate listing.

If your dog is a different breed, check the shop. This same towel-headed spa-dog series is being expanded to 444+ breeds and other breeds are available on request.

A gift for the Cockapoo person in your life

This is a gift for the Cockapoo mom or Cockapoo dad who already has every Cockapoo mug, blanket, and "Cockapoos: 100% Pure Joy" sweatshirt. This one is different. It is actual art they would display on purpose, in a room they are proud of.

Birthdays. Mother's Day. Father's Day. Housewarming. "You redid your bathroom and I couldn't think what else to get you." A new puppy. A retirement. Just because.

Arrives gift-ready: cream tissue paper, twine, a kraft gift tag stamped with a paw print. Add a personal note in the order notes and I'll handwrite it on the tag.

As a memorial keepsake for a Cockapoo you have lost

This piece works as a memorial keepsake. Cockapoos leave a particular shape in a house when they go: the patter of small fast feet on the hardwood at the exact moment you opened the fridge, the curly head leaned against your shin while you cooked, the squeaky toy they brought you every time you came back in the room as if you had been gone a year.

If you are ordering as a memorial, for yourself or for someone you love, write your dog's name in the order notes. I'll include a small handwritten card with their name and the line "In memory of [name]" at no extra charge.

Shipping and timeline

Made to order in our studio. Production lead time: 5 to 7 business days from order to ship. Ships from the United States, packed with care so it arrives the way it left.

If anything goes wrong in transit, just message me and I'll send a replacement. I want you to love this piece.

Questions shoppers ask before choosing this gift

Q: Is this a good Mother's Day gift for a Cockapoo mom?

Yes. This is a Cockapoo Mother's Day gift specifically because it is breed-true and design-forward at the same time. Cockapoo moms recognize the wet curls flat against the head, the button eyes, the post-bath chaos that only Cockapoos run with full conviction. The apricot coloring in the artwork is the most iconic Cockapoo variant, and the 4x4 with a display stand or the 8x8 in a black floating frame both read as wall art, not pet merchandise.

Q: We just lost our Cockapoo. Is this an appropriate sympathy gift or memorial keepsake?

Yes, and many buyers order it for exactly this. Cockapoos are velcro dogs that built their whole life around following you from room to room, and the absence is loud in a specific way. The artwork captures something true about how Cockapoos occupied a house, not just how they looked. Write your dog's name in the order notes and a handwritten "In memory of [name]" card is included at no extra charge.

Q: What do you give a Cockapoo owner who has every doodle mug, blanket, and shirt already?

Something they would display on purpose, in a room they are proud of, not in the kitchen drawer with the other novelty items. Cockapoo owners are drowning in generic doodle merchandise that could be any of fifteen poodle mixes. This towel-headed spa-dog tile is specifically a Cockapoo, not a "doodle." It reads as fine art first, breed-affinity second. Most buyers tell me their Cockapoo person said "I would have bought this for myself."

Q: Is this more funny, sentimental, or elegant?

All three. The post-bath chaos of a Cockapoo, flat-curled and ricocheting through the hallway, is gently funny because Cockapoos commit so completely to the bit. The artwork is sentimental because every Cockapoo owner recognizes the look, the curls, the absolute lack of guile in those button eyes. And the watercolor and alcohol-ink style on glossy ceramic reads as gallery decor, not pet merchandise.

Q: What makes this different from generic dog bathroom decor?

This artwork is specifically a Cockapoo, not a generic doodle blob and not a generic curly dog. The tight curls, the button eyes, the teddy-bear face, and the squared muzzle framed by floppy curled ears are all accurate and visible. Cockapoo owners recognize their dog immediately. People who confuse every curly dog for a Goldendoodle miss the breed entirely, and that is exactly the point: this is for the people who already know.

Q: My sister is obsessed with her Cockapoo. What should I get her?

This tile is for the obsessed ones. If she has corrected someone for calling her dog a Goldendoodle, if she has explained more than once that Cockapoos are Cocker Spaniel and Poodle, if she has the post-groomer photo as her phone wallpaper, if her dog has more friends in the neighborhood than she does, then she is the recipient.

Q: Is this a good Father's Day gift for a Cockapoo dad?

Yes. The Cockapoo dad demographic is real and growing fast: often a guy who said he wanted a smaller, easier dog and accidentally made the dog his entire personality. The 8x8 or 12x12 in a thin black floating frame, in a study or above a soaking tub, reads gallery-appropriate. He will hang it somewhere visible.

Q: What is the best size for a small powder room vs. a large primary bathroom?

For a small powder room, the 6x6 inch tile in a black floating frame hits the right scale: visible from the doorway without overwhelming the wall. For a large primary bathroom, the 12x12 inch tile above a soaking tub is the statement piece. The 8x8 inch on a wooden bath caddy across a clawfoot tub is the bath-time scene-stealer. For vanity-corner styling next to candles and soap dishes, the 2x2 inch or 4x4 inch on a small black display stand is the move.

Q: I have a chocolate Cockapoo, not apricot. Does this still work?

Yes. The artwork shows an apricot Cockapoo because it is the most iconic Cockapoo coat, but every owner I have heard from has said the same thing: it captures her too. The curls, the button eyes, and the post-bath teddy-bear expression are universal across Cockapoo coat colors. If you specifically want a cream, red, chocolate, black, or parti version, message before ordering and I'll let you know if it is in the queue or available on commission.

A few practical questions

Q: Is the artwork printed on top of the tile or part of the tile?

The artwork is permanently infused into the glossy ceramic surface under high pressure and temperature. It becomes part of the surface itself, not a layer applied on top. It cannot peel, scratch off, or wash away.

Q: Is it safe in a bathroom with steam?

Yes. Indoor display only. Normal bathroom humidity is fine. Avoid prolonged direct sun and outdoor weather exposure.

Q: What is the difference between the display stand and the floating frame, and will you assemble it for me?

The display stand is a small black plate-stand that holds the tile upright on a flat surface, with only the front feet visible. The floating frame is a thin black wall-mounted frame. Order the tile and the floating frame together and I assemble it in the studio before shipping so it arrives ready to hang.

Q: Can you do other Cockapoo coat colors or a custom portrait of my specific dog?

Cream, red, chocolate, black, and parti variants are in the queue. Message before ordering. Custom portraits of your specific Cockapoo are available as a separate listing.

Q: How long until my order ships?

5 to 7 business days production lead time, plus US shipping.
