Arvo, Toots! I should (nah, not doing that word. I don't do "shoulds") I could have chosen to go to Portraits from Life drawing this arvo, but needed more rest. So I'm enjoying one of the books I bought in Canberra, at the National Library Bookshop.
I thought I was being very self indulgent with this one - but it's already got scribbled notes with ideas of things I want to do. And it's a beautiful book! First published 2012, revised and expanded 2016, this is the 2026 reprint. "...showcasing over 150 masterworks that illustrate the deep bond between Australians and their best friends. Steven Miller's whimsical text argues that all the major shifts which occurred in Australian art, and which have traditionally been attributed to the environment or historical factors, really occurred because of dogs."
Highly recommending this if you have an arty dog lover in your life.
