from today's email:
"ENGLISH SCHOOL, STANDING TERRIER
While only signed indistinctly, this painting is reminiscent of the work of the British artist, Valentine Garland (1849-1913). He specialized in painting dogs and his work has a highly finished, smooth surface like that of the terrier here illustrated.
Valentine’s work, however, often has a slightly sentimental bent, unlike this painting that appears to be a classic purebred dog portrait. Note how the dog is posed in profile, head turned slightly toward the viewer to show how it conforms to the standard for the breed.
English School, 19th Century
Standing Terrier
Signed indistinctly lower right
Oil on canvas, 13 x 17 inches

One of our favorite Paintings of the Week from William Secord Gallery, Inc. is "Doux" by Louis-Charles Bombléd (French, 1862-1927). The description of the painting from the Gallery, as follows:
"This little painting defines the meaning of the French word, “mignon.” Translated by some as “small” or “cute,” it is much more than that, for it refers to a cuteness that is on the edge of being too sweet. This charming little dog may have been a Maltese, a Poodle or even a Chien de Lion, but regardless of its breed, it is a beautifully executed jewel of a painting.
Bombléd, who is known for his military subjects, has captured the pert, seemingly mischievous little dog with his tousled hair and his fashionable green leather collar. Evidently a portrait of someone’s pet dog, it has been well-named, for doux is the French word for sweet!"
And from THE NEW BARKER: Did you know that every cover of the magazine has always featured an original work of art by a different living artist? We're in production on the next issue and have the cover artwork almost complete. But, you'll have to wait a little while longer before we share it. In the meantime, we hope you'll have some fun reviewing the cover artwork from past issues. Click to view:

GEORGE W. BROWNLOW, JACK RUSSELL TERRIER
George Washington Brownlow was predominantly a Victorian genre painter, depicting scenes of everyday life such as families gathered around a fireplace or sentimental depictions of children playing.
Well-known during his lifetime, he exhibited at London's prestigious Royal Academy, as well as at the British Institution and the Royal Society of British Artists on Suffolk Street in London. While not an animal painter per se, he has captured the direct, rather quizzical expression of this Jack Russell Terrier.

The opening of a lovely exhibit at this gallery of Liza Tivey's fine elephant drawings & some of her sculpture of dogs, horses and one great elephant. What a beautiful gallery! Am so glad I now know about it. A gem of a place where the emphasis is predominantly on dog paintings of extraordinary caliber.
