All I can say about this wonderful exhibit ‘Dog Days of Summer‘ at the Timothy Taylor Gallery is it was a-DOG-able! Artists usually create alone and often use a Muse for artistic inspiration. One’s dog (or cat, bird, etc) can easily fill that need. Here is an article that features some of the greats with their companion Muses. This exhibit features 60 artists’ dogs. I have taken the liberty of adding four of my own works that have been inspired by my dogs. The very top picture is of Jack (before he became One-eyed Jack) and the bottom three pieces are of Mr. Pepe (my present Muse), sweet Benny and Donald (my very first dog). This exhibit is on through August 24th but the gallery has some weird hours in August so please check with them if you want to go. Woof!
