Git along little doggies....

Well, we hate to say goodbye but our current show, Creature Comforts, will be taken down next week. 


"Full Speed" by Tamara Thornton (sold)

We have so enjoyed just staring at the dynamic brush strokes and the exciting subjects of Tamara Thornton's oils. The vibrant action of her dogs at the beach or the nobility of her pet posed at home have brought pure joy to our little shop.




















"Gustav" by Dominique McKenzie (sold)
Dominique McKenzie's watercolors with her soulful dogs and her vibrant colors were a great compliment to the show.  We love that our very own shop dogs, Meggie and Penny are right up there with her other dogs.  We have had many inquiries about Domi's commissions, and hope that some of your pets will soon be joining her portfolio of fabulous dogs (and cats as well, but we don't like to say it too loud when any dogs are around).

Cari Garfield's amazing photographs of our feathered friends around Back Bay made a delightful display around our own wooden and metal birds, birdbaths and feeders.  The rich colors in her photographs created the perfect complement to our MUD Australia porcelain, and reminded us of the beautiful creatures that can be seen everyday in our own Back Bay nature preserve.

We hate to see the work of these three exceptional artists leave us, but they are still up for one more week so leash up your pup and come to Winnow for a doggie treat.  You'll also be treated to a wonderful show.
