After a lifetime of more traditional painting, Leslie Simpson, the Director of the British Society of Painters, has decided to throw caution to the wind and paint what he likes - in the shape of the world's brainiest dog, the Border Collie!
He has produced a series of pictures under the title Whimseycollies, which he hopes will go down well with the public as well as his two biggest critics, his own Border Collies Fly, May and Meg. If any of them don't approve, it looks like Leslie could end up well and truly in the doghouse!
But judging by the demand for the pictures Leslie has produced so far there’s little chance of that. They have all been sold within hours of them going on display at the Society’s exhibitions.
