Amicus Canis

The British are known for their love of dogs. Sporting, working, pet, they don't care. The dog is an integral part of family life.



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.
