Monte Dolack -born in 1950- is a contemporary artist born in Great Falls, Montana and living in Missoula, Montana [USA] who works in many mediums.  His work is highly collectible and sought after.  "The Borzoi" print was commissioned by Barbara Bouray of Yah-Borick Borzoi, then located in Montana.  It is a poster with a limited number of copies and features one of Barbara's own Borzoi. A truly magical painting with a wonderful backdrop.

British artist Thelwell is famous for his cartoons of little girls and their big, fat [naughty] ponies.  His cartoons of them make many a person laugh with their detail, expression and absolute perfection of accuracy.  Thelwell also did a pen and ink of a little boy and his elegant, long striding Borzoi, depicted here.  This dog is apparently much better behaved than the fat, naughty ponies!!

This lovely piece of artwork was done by Oscar Coppron.  It was actually made into a Christmas card which made for some delightful card giving.
