Original artwork description:

Pug wearing a zoo keeper's hat and a worried look on his face which is understandable as he is the keeper at Salvador Dali's zoo.... if Dali had had one I suspect it probably would be full of long legged elephants!

This is my tribute to one of my most favourite and inspirational artists Salvador Dali, I've always loved his amazing talent, skill and fantastic imagination. His work was a breath of fresh air for me while at art college, I love his use of drama and the touch of sinister foreboding he incorporates in his work. But to suit my delicate sensibilities I like to make the world a safer fluffier place by adding a bit of humour.

I really enjoy painting pugs because they have such great expressions which work beautifully in humorous compositions.

"Dali's Zoo" measures H18" x W24", it's painted on stretched canvas using Bristols Paint, has been sealed with a matt glaze and is ready to hang. It is signed, titled and dated on the back.

I am happy to ship my work worldwide, I don't like to roll it as this can sometimes damage the painting so I send it flat wrapped securely in cardboard and bubblewrap.

If you like my style why not commission me to create and artwork just for you?!
