Kipper Egging Florrie On

Anna Pugh, born in 1938, is one of England’s leading folk artists.  She is sometimes compared to Grandma Moses.  I see Maude Lewis crossed with Heironymus Bosch.

According Lucy B. Campbell Fine Art, the gallery that exclusively represents her, Anna Pugh has painted over 200 works in the last 20 years, yet demand still outpaces production.  “[Pugh] has obvious empathy with the countryside, and with dogs and plants
in particular. The tremendous demand for her paintings is a reflection
of their spellbinding charm.” 

I discovered Anna Pugh’s work on the blog of another talented UK dog artist, Anna Wilson-Patterson.

This last image, Chasing Clouds, reminds me of Tamandra Michaels’s heart dog, Borias, who recently passed away.
