“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!”
