An Artist’s Best Friend

“Until one has loved an animal a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” -Anatole France

Pets bring insurmountable happiness to our lives. To spread the joy, we asked our artists to send pictures of their loyal companions. Whether working in the studio or basking in the sun, these animals will steal your heart. They say a dog is man’s best friend. Meet some of our artist’s “best friends!”

Charlie Bluett

Charlie’s best friends Chimpanda and Willow often turn into his toughest critics, according to the artist. As you can see below, the Frenchie and Vizsla make themelves at home in the studio.
