Every morning I take the dogs down to the park on the edge of the sea at Curl Curl. Together we witness the infinite variation of sunrises and morning light, and the equally ever changing shape of the sea. I chat to other dog owners (and mostly their dogs), aware that we share an unbreakable bond. Dogs and humans have been hanging out together for thousands of years. I will forever be curious about how they experience the earth. Is it a place of wonder for them? Do they enjoy sunrises like we do? Do they look out to sea and get that marvellous sense of vast space? What do they observe when watching human beings interact? Do they have an opinion? We don’t know, but I like to think that they do appreciate some of the same things we do. When I put them into a landscape or dreamscape, this is what I’m expressing. This, and because they deserve to be acknowledged and honoured, over and over again. This painting is stretched and ready to hang.
