"... daily practice [drawing] that enhances our skills, stimulates our imagination and pushes how we think about our work..." is what Jane asked for.

And the subject? Your dog (or cat, or next-doors gerbil) or indeed any pet that is happy to sit by your side while you observe, interpret and capture the unique character of that special furrever friend.

Come and celebrate with us, meet the artists, share some shaggy dog stories or tackle the age-old dog vs cat people debate.

Plus a secret gift, wrapped under the tree. BID on our AUCTION sheet before December 14th to secure this unique and stylish decoration.
