Westminster Beagles prefer macarons, original watercolor, 9" x 12"
Painting a piece of cake is much easier than painting a dog... 
I love the way Seurat captured the dog's livliness and animation with such simplicity and I admire even moreso his skills after my attempts...
He made study after study of the individual elements for his masterpiece, A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, before he brought them together in perfect harmony.
In the final painting they are all so well integrated, like pieces of a puzzle locked together in a moment of afternoon sun.
The dogs add animation and wit to the grand gesture of the painting.

British director Sam Buntrock (formerly an animater) uses 21st-century technology to convey 19th-century Pointillist Seurat's vision. These two blank canvases are animated with drawings of scampering dogs that jump and leap and come alive as they do inherently the painting.
The finished Seurat work - which you understand so much better after seeing the play!

The grand finale of the play bursts forth with light, warmth and energy.
A painting brought to life!
There's a grand finale going on at Studio PB, since my new hounds of Baskerville have arrived...ahem
