No, No Puppy by Margaret Graziano

I have to share the work of a wonderful Montana artist, Margaret Graziano. In this art bronze she has captured the playful nature of a puppy.no no puppy art

“One of the things I love about living in Montana is the exposure to the many cultures and traditions of the people who call it home.

The people who touch my heart the most are the original ones: the Native Americans.I live near the Blackfeet Reservation and enjoy attending their Indian Days celebration each July.

“No, No Puppy!” was inspired by attending these pow-wows. Besides the excitement of the official dancing I love to watch the side lines, and the antics of the little ones.
There’s usually a dog or two, or three, thrown into the mix, and as depicted in this bronze, they can cause mischief. But there are no hard feelings! Such encounters are met with amusement and accompanied by lots of laughter!
Dogs hold a very special place with the Native Peoples of Montana, and me too!”
