I own four Chihuahuas and a Corgi (who his mamma is actually my daughters, so I am termed his "grand mamma"
Every day I come home from work, I am exhausted with both of course the working, but also the strongest desire that I needed to paint or collage all day, yet could not. What is also exhausting or should I say, overwhelming, is all I have to do before I can get to my art. Most nights I wish as soon as I walk in the door, hold each of my Chihuahuas individually, Loretta usually gets her way and is the first to be held, change clothes and get to my art.
One evening my daughter (who owns the Corgi) showed me a video with a chihuahua and an Italian Greyhound. I absolutely fell in love with the Italian Greyhound!
I had done some previous work on an earlier dog series my Boho Dogs, and had done an Italian Greyhound as one of the first few here,
and later on when I started my Urban Collage Dogs series I of course, had to do an Italian Greyhound again.
My Urban Collage Dogs consist of handmade and store bought collage papers, acrylic paint, stenciling and pens on watercolor paper.
I can say I love my pastel dogs but as I have been doing more collage work, these collage dogs are becoming addicting! The ripping up the paper whether they are store bought or hand made are desirable in itself! This one I also used a piece of punchinella on the chest. I think in time I will be adding more elements to these. Only time will tell.
