Julia's aim is to stock pictures of
every breed of dog, but there are now many breeds
which have been imported from other countries, of
which there are only a small number. So an artist
is not likely to produce a print of these breeds
because the publisher would not sell a large
number from a Limited Edition and it would not be
economically viable.
However, she has a
huge stock of antique engravings of dogs, dating
from around 1790, which are of interest to
breeders, as the conformation of the dog has
usually changed a little over the years. There
were some very good artists of the period 1920 -
1940 , such as Maud Earl, Lucy Dawson, Kathleen
Barker and, of course, Cecil Aldin, who produced
really charming small pictures of the dogs which
were so popular then and are even more sought
after now, for example, Sealyhams, Scotties,
Deerhounds, Cairns and many more.
There are
some lovely character studies and these are
inexpensive prints of today's dog artists, it is
impossible to describe all their work, so Julia
can only suggest you telephone if you are looking
for a particular breed and she can send more
details.
Artists always in stock are Mick
Cawston, winner of many awards for best dog
artist, Debbie Gillingham with some charming small
and inexpensive studies, Paul Doyle with amusing
scenes of dogs eyeing drinks on a bar or looking
naughty., John Trickett famous for many years for
his outstanding pictures, particularly of
Labradors and Malcolm Coward, for a wide variety
of subjects Gill Evans's pictures have proved to
be very popular over many years. She has produced
pictures of nearly all the breeds and several of
the favourites - the Jack Russells and Border
Terriers which seem to be top of the
poll!
There are some really outstanding artists
around today, who paint dogs with incredible
attention to detail and also manage to produce an
attractive, entertaining story to go with it.
These are always on view at the shows, otherwise
please ring for details. | | |
