STELLA!!!!

Art appears in life, I have found it, it's called a Harlequin Great Dane! It seems that my love for art, contrast, and canine has all come together to make my dream dog. Yes I said dream dog. I hate cats, they're miserable creatures who only show you love when they want to be scratched. Dogs are almost always happy to see you and they love you no matter what. Like one of my teachers said, "If a cat had a five fingers, every time you'd walk in the door it would flip you off."

The deal with the Harlequin Great Dane, if you've never seen one, is that it is a Great Dane that basically looks like it has the coat of a Dalmatian. My favorite Harlequins are the ones with the pointy ears, but I would love a regular eared one just as much. These dogs are beautiful and graceful and down right cute! If I could pain a Harl I would, but I'm pretty sure there's no way I would be able to get the coat right. That's another thing! Their coats are so sleek and unique. The spots on the dogs aren't actually round spots, they look like torn edges of construction paper and are irregular. I'm not just writing this blog to talk about a dog I'm pretty obsessed with, I really do thing they are as beautiful as great pieces of artwork. The way I look at it, I just take the beauty of classic art and try to find beauty that matches or rivals it in the real world. In this case, it just so happens that I found a dog. So be it!

Someday I will have a dog that looks like this and her name will be Stella. She will be the best dog ever!
