Beach Dogs


Beach Dogs 4
Oil on Canvas

Dogs, dogs and more dogs. Last night we went to City Arts and Lectures to hear New Yorker cartoonists George Booth and Matthew Diffee who were promoting Booth's new book, "About Dogs." We laughed. They laughed. Everybody laughed at themselves and each other and for 90 precious minutes we were in a room full of people and dogs who left the world's pressing problems outside. Booth has an infectious laugh and loves his art which he demonstrated right there onstage, sketching various dogs of various shapes and sizes, capturing in a flash their unique personality. Once again I was reminded that to create art with passion that fills people with even a fleeting moment of joy is in itself, a life's work.
