Art of Dogs
I am proud to be the illustrator of the 2016 National Dog Show. While drawing, I ponder that every dog I illustrate is the best kind of friend to someone, attentive and eager to interact. It is an honor to capture canine moments. The National Dog Show is spectacular, the day spent signing posters of my work while sharing stories with fellow dog folk. Previously, I was a three-time official artist of the Westminster Dog Show.
In the abstract, I love the working and sporting breeds, graciously determined in their purposeful roles. However, our little Boston Terrier Lucy (of the non-sporting variety), who lovingly stares at us with her cocked head and serious expression, is ever ready to play games that she seems to devise herself. Lucy is the best pal to see in the early morning with her palatable excitement for the Best Dog Day Ever just ahead.
