Pets, particularly dogs and cats, have played important roles in Art history, representing loyalty and companionship.
Symbolism of popular domestic pets in Art
Dogs: guidance, protection, loyalty, faithfulness, fidelity, alertness, and love.
Cats: femininity, fertility, promiscuity, lust, deception, betrayal, laziness, dark forces, comfort, and homeliness.
Guinea pigs: fruitfulness.
Rabbits: fertility, lust, rebirth/resurrection, and sex.
Pets make great subjects for your art; although some of them sit still for longer than others! grab a moment to photograph or make a sketch, to work on an idea later, especially if, like us one of yours is a collie ( because they have multiple appointments to run to and could well be secret agents… )
Have a lovely week everyone
Love and Hugs, Liz at the Beach Hut xx
