I had such fun this weekend watching the new sheep shearer my sister hired this year. Unlike all the other fellows through the years, this tall lanky, genuine cowboy would reach into the corral and grab the sheep by their front legs and literally dance them over to his station. He specializes in humane treatment of all animals so evidently this is the preferred method now. The sheep certainly didn't seem to mind and a few even seemed to be enjoying themselves! A good sport, the shearer even hammed it up a little when we all started humming the Blue Danube! Needless to say, it inspired a painting! For the delight of the Welsh Pembroke Corgi or canine enthusiast, a wee fellow trips the light fantastic with a wooly companion. "Dance by the Light of the Moon" is painted in acrylic on a highly-collectible 4 x 4 inch miniature canvas. The art extends around the 3/4 inch gallery-wrapped edges so no framing is necessary. A key-hole hanger in back makes for easy, flat-to-the-wall display straight from the box. Comes with an appropriately-sized certificate of authenticity. I was disappointed in the image of this one--it doesn't justify it at all--it is ever-so-much better in person! Original in the private collection of K. Hofmann.

Your corgi art is truly wonderful -- even magical!!! You have captured their whimsey. You obviously have a great sense of humor -- and I bet you have a few corgis as well!

This is too cute. Many of my herding buddies have Corgis and they would LOVE this.
