Peter Nash - Portraits in Fur
Photo session of pet in your home (greater Nashville area only).
Includes an 11x14 print on canvas.
Value: $500
"The relationship between guardian and dog is unexplainable. My work interprets that love as a family heirloom that lives on after the parting.”
Peter Nash - Nashville 2014
PORTRAITS IN FUR is the perfect reward for a portrait artist. Without love of subject there is no art. The connection between the subject and myself reflects that love. I’ve gone from Dolly Parton to poodles. From George Jones to Jack Russells. From Lyle Lovett to Labradors. All in the blink of an eye. After 25 years of shooting Country Music artists (I saw more Men In Hats than a Marine DI) I’ve turned my lens to those who have provided a lifetime of love.
