Artwork of the Week - 23rd June 2015

Justine Osborne - Pug Pair

We Brits have been known as a nation of pet lovers for many years now. Britain was the first country in the world to start a welfare charity for animals and more than half of us keep a minimum of one pet. It has been proven that people who own pets live longer and have less stress. Most pet owners say their pet makes them smile more than once a day. We certainly love them here at Union Art. We have Sammy our office squirrel and we regularly have visiting dogs to relieve the stress!

With so many animal lovers out there we are delighted to introduce you to the latest artist to join us - Justine Osborne. Fascinated with dogs' different personalities, artist and painter Justine Osborne BA specialises in oil paintings of dogs. She successfully conveys the spirit and depth of expression that is unique to each dog, creating eye-catching and contemporary canine images.

Justine has painted many subjects over the years, but it is the exuberance and lust for life which dogs have, that inspires her to paint them over and over again. Pug Pair is a Signed Limited Edition Print by Justine that features a gorgeous tan and black pug. She paints the dog with energetic strokes, and the backgrounds in contrast are flat, smooth areas of paint, with a single colour. The artwork is a fresh and contemporary piece of art that provides an alternative to the classic pet portrait.

The full collection of Prints by Justine Osborne can be viewed at Union Art. Each piece has been reviewed and signed by the artist. Each print series from Union Art is available for immediate delivery and can be shipped worldwide.
