A Dogs’ capacity to relish life’s simple pleasures is conveyed with warmth and affection in Carol Saxe’s tranquil “Dogs Eyeview.” A representational artist for more than 30 years, Saxe draws inspiration for her numerous dog paintings from local canines, also painting coastal landscapes, architecture and cats in a style she describes as interpretive realism. Her work incorporates abstract patterns of shadow and light, man made and natural surfaces, and layers of paint in varying transparencies. Saxe’s charming canines are featured in the book, “The Dog Lover’s Guide to the Good Life.”
