  1. It’s hard to pick a favorite here, but I gotta go with number #4 or the opening picture. Painting or not, that Beagle’s about 2 seconds from lifting his leg on that tree without a quick prevention escort outside. After that, number’s 1 and 3 by Chon Day.

    Regarding #1 (in the 2nd picture) I see a Picasso-ish dog possibly trying to flip himself a treat upwards so fast it’s a blur missing his mouth completely, that I see it as an eye. That’s how I FIRST saw it anyway, but may have been wrong. Wow, I’m getting a lot of Peter Max pop art ads off to the side. Now that’s pop up art that’s pretty smart!
