Through carefully selected paintings, sculptures, drawings, works of art and even taxidermy, the exhibition highlights the unique bond between humans and their canine companions.ĭog portraiture developed as an artistic genre contemporaneously with its human counterpart – dogs are represented in the earliest cave paintings alongside humans – and it flourished, particularly in Britain, from the 17th century onwards.
The exhibition explores our devotion to four-legged friends across the centuries. > Check out this artwork by Three Doods and a Yorkie.Our major new exhibition, Portraits of Dogs: From Gainsborough to Hockney, is now open.

Step 5: Put the bag on the floor and let your dog lick all the peanut butter! Supervise this to make sure they don’t bite the bag and lick up any paint y accident.
Step 4: Carefully place your canvas with the paint into the Ziploc bag and seal it. Make sure to do this when the bag is empty otherwise you’ll smear all the paint around yourself (we want the dogs to do that part!). Step 3: Next, apply natural peanut butter to your gallon Ziploc bag. You can apply the paint in lines, dots, swirls, anything you like! I recommend doing 3 or 4 colors and having some black or white to create contrast. Don’t do too much, it will go a long way. Step 2: Squeeze some paint onto the canvas. This is totally optional!
