Giulty Glance Dog Paintings by Alison Wood

British realist Alison Wood brings humor and personality to the animal kingdom in her vivid paintings. An accomplished children’s book illustrator, Wood infuses a modern vision into her classically rendered canvases of wildlife and pets.

Dreamy, delicate brushstrokes reveal the secret inner lives of her frolicking subjects, whether they’re enjoying a sweet treat or cocktail. As Wood explains, “I focus on those glances our pets give us.” Her loose beginnings and funny expressions invite viewers to create their own stories.

Originally a stonemason and printmaking graduate, Wood captures intricate textures that lend believability. Exhibited globally from London to Los Angeles, her cheeky paintings reveal thoughtful observations on human-pet connections. From opportunistic squirrels to gin-swigging meerkats, the Lake District artist sprinkles animal scenes with playful wit and insight.
