On Sunday despite being new yorkers my partner and I spent the day at the brooklyn art museum. we first went to see the feminist art exhibit (which if you are ever in the city you should attend) but i then found myself drawn to a beautiful sculpture of a woman and an irish wolfhound. I began to think about the huge impact dogs have had on the artistic world, and for so many (myself included) they serve as a powerful inspiration for our creative works.

i know that my own life and art have been greatly enriched through my love of dogs (some of my dog art which has been displayed in several galleries can be found here: http://pomofreakshow.com/sassmain/?page_id=6 ) and i know i am not alone in this, and that art comes in many forms from those who write, or draw, or photograph, to people who creatively express themselves through cooking. so my question to all of you is how have dogs inspired you to live artfully?
