Description

What a cutie! ... hence, the name of the painting: CORGI CUTIE! There are two breeds of Welsh corgis, the Cardigan and the Pembroke, each named for the county in Wales where it originated. The differences between the two breeds include bone structure, body length, and size.
......................................................................................................................................
The Welsh corgi is a small type of herding dog. Corgis have large rounded ears and a long flowing tail set in line with the body. Although they specialize in herding cattle, corgis are also used to herd sheep and Welsh ponies.They are also one of the few breeds able to herd geese. A protective instinct makes the corgi a wonderful pet. In fact, the corgi is protective of his owner, guards children, and is a loyal pet. Corgis are intelligent animals and loving companions. Queen Elizabeth II has corgis at the royal palace. Her first corgi was named Susan. Some portraits of Queen Elizabeth II include a corgi.
................................................................................................................................. Corgis have appeared in literature. They were characters in the books Corgiville Fair, The Great Corgiville Kidnapping, and Corgiville Christmas. The Walt Disney film, Little Dog Lost, brought the Pembroke Corgi widespread publicity. In the anime Cowboy Bebop, the main characters have a super-intelligent Pembroke Welsh corgi, Ein, on their ship.
A series of American mystery novels feature a pet corgi named Tee Tucker.
................................................................................................................................ This art piece was painted with several kinds of paint and inks, and then enhanced digitally. Detail work took multiple hours, the artist adding little bits of graffiti, ribbon, and hearts one by one. The colors are bright and happy. It is a wonderful, whimsical, and fun painting.
