Dog art is also a strong part of the culture. In times past, the Lord of the Manor, found it cheaper to have a portrait of his dog or horse than wife. The stylish went for the dog's portrait.
While at the Dog Museum I came across a print of a collage by Peter Clark.
I love how each little pup comes to life in his work.
His work is available for sale here.

I thought these were patchwork, but they are paper! How ingenious. V. inspiring.
ReplyDeleteVery clever. Over the weekend, I kept trying to get profile photographs of my dogs so I could make silhouettes of them. Yes, I'm a dog nut. Love this post.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I will definitely take a look at the ones for sale.
