"BoBo was our first Golden Retriever who adored Kurt. Bobo would search the house for Kurts socks and T Shirts. He would hide the socks in his bed and lick and cuddle with them while we all slept. Kurt was shooting portraits of Lisa Marie at our lake house when Bobo decided he wanted Kurts photo cloth that Kurt used for his Graflex. Kurt had to then do a portrait of his beloved Bobo."

Both dogs and art share a cherished place in our lives because they both bring us closer to the essence of love, loyalty, and expression. Dogs have this way of showing love that's instinctual and genuine. BoBo’s dedication to his person, Kurt—his ritual of collecting Kurt's socks, t-shirts, even his photography cloth—is so sweetly symbolic of a dog's unconditional affection.
Art, too, has this magic of making us feel understood, filling our lives with memories and expressions that words sometimes fail to convey. Through a healthy sampling of both art and our furry friends (whatever species they might be), we experience life with a richer sense of purpose, companionship, and beauty.
