Item Description

Re-live the excitement of the Westminster Dog Show by owning this beautiful oil painting which was the basis of the Kennel Club's 2010 commemorative poster.

This 48- by 35-inch piece of art by Trish Biddle is painted in an Art Deco style and features several dogs from this world-famous show including the 2009 Best in Show champion, Stump, who is seated in a convertible classic car. Stump and his driver are set in a New York City scene, with Madison Square Garden and the Empire State Building in the background. The colors are predominantly cool blues and deep red.

Contemporary painter Trish Biddle, the Official Artist of the 2009 & 2010 Westminster Dog Show and the Official Artist of the 2008 Kentucky Derby captures the Art Deco flavor of fashion. Although retro vintage in style, Trish's paintings incorporate bright colors and modern twists.

Item Special Note

Trish Biddle creates Art Deco-flavored works infused with humor and mystery. Originally an illustrator and textile designer, Biddle employs a style immersed in broad, luxurious brushstrokes and rich, plush colors to capture the era’s fashion, elegance and simplicity. Biddle intentionally obscures the faces of her subjects so viewers can invent their own romantic storylines. She paints figurative works (often featuring horses), florals, fashion and children’s art. Published worldwide, Biddle's works are featured in numerous corporate and private collections.
