Roll Up by Doug Hyde

'Roll up' in a black and white cute image that has a rather sad quality to it, the dog looks he has been naughty!

Did you wonder if the ball was a plastic soft spiked dog toy? or a rather rotund cactus? No! its a Hedgehog of course!

Doug Hyde shows is adeptness at painting dogs in this new limited edition & the theme of the serious appears to be black and white with splashes of colour - in this case the dogs eyes.

In this new image by Doug Hyde, a dog approaches tentatively a rolled up defensive Hedgehog and attempts to get a reaction!

The dog is curious not aggressive and I can see the two very shortly becoming friends, as is the norm in Doug Hyde's world, filled with laughter and friendship.
