Bill Slavin.
When begging at a family picnic doesn't work, hungry Stanley and his doggy friends set off in search of food. Lured by the enticing smell of ham, they scamper aboard a small boat and are quickly swept out to sea. Will their search end in dinner or disaster? Textured acrylics on gessoed paper capture in comic detail the canines' brush with catastrophe.
