Born in Warwickshire, England. Wootton was a master of the sporting genre, the battlefield & of portraiture. He was wildly collected & his paintings enjoy permanence in the Tate Gallery, the great hall at Longleat & other storied locales. We see that he reveled in the stylised, elongated habituation of the era. We see the parchment-like skin of his subjects & can almost feel the velveteen muzzles of equine & canine alike. I love his attention to detail....whether the scarred withers of a saddle sore which mar a steed...or the fine veinage of a hound. Comments are closed.

AuthorHowl-O! I'm Julia Jensen- devoted student of dogs & religious sampler of cheesecake, wheat beer, huehuetenango coffee & almost any chocolate out there. I indulge these fancies & more, in the remote silence of the pacific NW. *PLEASE NOTE* The videos selected for bloghism could be construed as "disturbing" to those of certain bents, sensitivities, natures, mind-sets, etc.. I have a distinct interest in relaying footage of dogs doing what they have been doing for centuries....& in some cases, I also include dog show footage just as a matter of interest. If you do not like my selections, by all means, do not view them. Archives
