Running dog
91.5cm x 76cm
oil on canvas

The first of the series of paintings painted from above challenging the conventions of how we view images. Jenny is a beautiful whippet, grey hound cross who would often sleep on this rug in front of the fire. She would run in her dreams and also assume the position creating a rather confusing image; is she running or is she sleeping. Then faced with the problem, ‘How do you paint this?’ led to some interesting answers.
