Dogs in Paintings and Drawings






Dogs are in drawings and paintings as companions, working dogs,  hunters and retrievers.Here are a few of my favourites art works for you to enjoy.


Companions

                                                                                    Dog Chair by Cecil Aldin
                                              



A house with a dog  chair suggests that the owners treat the dogs as companions and friends. This artist is well known for his illustrations of dogs.



                                                             
                                                         In Disgrace by Charles Barbour Burton

                                                     


   Victorian and sentimental  in style .This little girl has been naughty but has as sympathetic   friend  in her  dog.







                                            Pulling A Pint by Norman Cornish
                                                 
 Norman Cornish drew and painted the pit men in and around Durham in the north of England.This is a pub where coal miners would go for a drink after a hard day often taking their whippets, along with them.



Working Dogs 


             

Welsh artist Kyffin Williams has caught the attitudes of the Collie dogs as they round up sheep for their shepherd perfectly.

 Hunting and Retrieving 


                                                 

                                 Hunters Returning in The Snow, by Breugel The Elder
                     This painting may be seen at Kunthistories museum in Vienna
 
   Hunters trudging home through deep snow in freezing weather they are hanging their  heads in disappointment they have nothing to bring home after a long day.

                             




                             






A traditional hunting scene by Cecil Aldin.
Although scenes like this are now very unpopular with some people this artist captures the excitement of the hounds as they follow their natural instincts to go out as a pack.


Walkies 
 
                           


                                         Walkies in Buenos Aires by Beryl Cook                       







       Professional dog walkers are seen everywhere these days. Beryl Cook's paintings are usually about ordinary people enjoying themselves or in this case dogs.

    1. Thanks for your kind comment.You give useful advice.Only recently I had to grab a tiny frightened Yorkshire Terrier from running loose in the busy road .It had been given as a gift to a very old lady as a companion and she had no idea that it needed regular walks.He was so bored in her back yard he eventually made a bid for freedom.
