John Weiss is one of America's best known animal portrait artists.
He has admirers around the world, including Queen Elizabeth, who was presented with a Weiss painting from Lady Barlow. His paintings are considered to be much more
than portraits. They convey the deep and loyal bond between dogs and their owners.
His artwork reveals the irresistable charm, gentle nature and willingness to please
that is characteristic of these adorable canines.
John reveals the unconditional love that's expressed in the faces of these
devoted companions. Through his paintings, Weiss puts us in touch with our own
emotions and makes it easy for us to instantly and thoroughly enjoy his art.
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, comfort
and 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."
