"My dogs Tip and Honey are the sole subject of my work for this show. The large images some as big as 8'x8', tell a story not of what they look like, but rather my connection to them through the shared everyday existent that glues us together."

Artist Jay McClellen

"As I begin my paintings, the spirits of my dogs are pulsing. Their spirit influences everything from the composition to the colors. I feel that what I see in Tip and Honey are reflections of myself".

Artist Jay McClellen

"I don't plan what I paint, I let it evolve. I usually paint my dog subjects in a particular environment so that they blend in without being the center of the composition. Perhaps my past experience with animal rescue is why I always want to put the dogs into a peaceful environment."

Painter, Georganna Lenssen

"The relationship between people and their animals is universal but to capture it you have to go beyond the surface to connect with the individual "spark"... the thing that makes each personality unique."
