Edith Wharton and her dogs
Apropos of yesterday's post about how a dog can impinge on creativity, Gilbert Alter-Gilbert has an incredibly comprehensive collection of authors and their animal muses at Will Schofield's blog, A Journey Round My Skull. This photo of Edith Wharton is my favorite. I recently read The Custom of the Country
by her and loved how contemporary and cutting is. I would describe it as "The Real Housewives of Late 19th Century New York City and Paris." I had never read anything by her before. Highly recommend.
Hat tip to Rebecca Collins of Art Dog Blog who sent me this story. I spent hours at A Journey Round My Skull, then I hated my blog and redesigned it, then I put it back the way it was. I felt very Jealous Curator spending time in Will Schofield's skull. But I appreciate the link, Rebecca. And I think your new works, especially your mosaics, are fantastic.
I also found some more incredible photos of Edith Wharton and her dogs through the years. She will have another post soon.
Kisses
I discovered this beautiful cache of photos on Rebecca Collins’s always inspiring Art Dog Blog. See more of Fast Boy’s Girls in Bed set on his Flickr site. Note: some artistic nudity.

Ignore your dog’s high tech needs at your own risk. He might take a liking to one of your fun toys…
