Fashion Poodle

Fashion Poodle
Deb Harvey - contemporary. Acrylic on canvas. ACEO Gallery

I found this quirky little painting while looking at ATC’s on the Internet – it is only 3½ x 2½“ but it reminded me of my Aunt Inge and her fashion foibles which she also attributed to her dogs. Poodles were the obvious choice, so first there was Blacky, a raven-black standard who’s in the photograph, and later on Lady, a silver-grey miniature poodle. Both were always trimmed immaculately to the latest fashion of crowns, brush tails and fluffy bits on the legs, and adorned with glitzy collars and leads…
