Win a lovely framed Lucy Dawson print of a Scottie.  The size is 17 1/2" X 14 1/2".

Lucy Dawson was British born and noted for her paintings and etchings of dogs of all breeds.

Her home was in Bristol until about 1930, when, after the death of her husband, she moved to London. The war years saw her move to Hertfordshire where she remained until she died, just short of her 80th birthday.

Dawson worked in pencil, pen, ink and oil and was best known for her work in pastels. These pastel portraits are simple and completely focused on the dog. An absence of background clutter ensures the animal becomes the focal point of her work.

She enjoyed regular commissions and one of her most famous requests was that by the Royal family who took her to the Royal Lodge at Windsor to paint their favorite corgi, Dookie. This painting was later reproduced as a family Christmas card for the Windsors.

Under the pseudonym Mac, Lucy Dawson is best known for her dog postcards published by Valentines & Sons as the Tailwagger series. Cat cards were also produced and are scarce.
