Animal imagery, especially dogs, comprise the majority of
Mia Lane’s artwork. Some images are painted plein air, others are created in
the studio from field sketches combined with photography and her imagination.
Her artwork uses mediums from oils, acrylics, watercolours, etchings, mixed
media and pen and ink.
Mia was recently commissioned by the prestigious
Kennel Club Art Gallery in London, UK to paint for an exhibit called ‘The Newfoundland: An
Exhibition of Art and History Portraying this Noble, Loyal Breed’.
The exhibit runs until January 2014 and celebrates the
well-loved Newfoundland dog.
The
painting, shown here, is called “The Hikers” and was inspired by Mia’s trip to
Newfoundland.
Amazed by the rocky,
barren windswept coastlines, she understood their need for a rugged,
dependable, bear-like dog such as the Newfoundland.
The image will appear in Mia’s 2015
Must Love Dogs calendar.
