WEINER DREAMS Oil Painting of Two Dachshunds




"Weiner Dreams"

Size: 5"x7" Oil painting


The painting was inspired by a photograph taken by Samantha Miller. Her photo is of two "weiner" dogs sleeping on her lap.
The Dachshunds featured are named "Ruby" and "Blue" and their pet guardian is Barbara Law. Samantha cares for them through "Fetch."
The dreamlike nature of the photo, reminded me of the Surrealists and, thus, I chose to work in a Surrealistic style. The painting shown as an example is Giorgio de Chirico’s painting, "Mystery and Melancholy of a Street" which came to mind while admiring Samantha's work.

Surrealism is a European literary and artistic movement that uses dreamlike and illogical images to suggest the unconscious.
