Artist Comments
In this whimsical assemblage by artist Libby Ramage, a man and his pooch attempt to court the lady and her wolf with a song of love. "Maybe it's the wine talking or beer," shares Libby. "The labels are about very old techniques for their respective beverages and these characters emerged from the collage. The pets are created from old postage stamps. The red dog is sending his desire to the Italian lady's companion. All puns intended."
