Weiss, a self taught artist, was influenced by the realism and photographic quality that is found in the work of Andrew Wyeth. However, unlike Wyeth's tendency to illustrate solitary and deserted landscapes, Weiss portrays warmth, comfortand a well sense of well- being. "The relationship between a person and a dog is a familiar experience for just about everyone." says Weiss. "Life can be rough sometimes, so if I can create something that makes people feel better, then that's what I'll do."
