Recap: Just Dogs at La Motta Fine Art
Dogs and their owners showed up last Saturday for the opening reception of Just Dogs at La Motta Fine Art in Hartford, CT. As I previously mentioned, several of my collages and my film Dogs in Art are in the show.
Galley owner, Janice La Motta, was very pleased with the reception and noted that there was great range of dog parading in and out all day, surprisingly no duplicate breeds.
The fabulous Monica McLaughlin (no relation as far as we know) of Plans for Pups came in from Manhattan with her two Westies, Missy Paulette and Casey Jane, dressed up for the occasion and took some photos for me, as did fellow artist Jane O'Hara, in from Rhode Island with her husband, artist Gedas Paskauskas.
Gary Steinborn's Venice Clay Dogs grace the window.

Any Basset Hound art?
Monica McLaughlin with Missy Paulette, Casey Jane, and new friend who loved them both.
Dog art lovers mix and mingle. (See my movie on a pedestal. I love it!)
Moira McLaughlin originals.
Also, my collage Greyhound's Goddess sold to art collector Linda Cheverton Wick and her husband, artist Walter Wick of the I Spy book series. Needless to say, I am thrilled!
Sold!
Just Dogs at La Motta Fine Art runs until August 22, 2008.

Nice review, Moira. The Westie Girls and I had a lot of fun. Interestingly, a few lifetimes ago, I was once married in the same neighborhood La Motta Fine Art is in. I drove past the apartment where the deed was done.

Very intriguing, Monica. BTW, did you see the Dog in Chair 1

And Dog in Chair 2

It may have been confusing because I didn't call it Part 3 until the last one.
Grace...Thanks for the congrats. I guess I would recommend doing a show now.
