The Mirada Art Blog is our dedicated site where we’ll get much more in-depth on all sorts of art-related topics than we can at our primary URL: www.miradafineart.com. We'll talk with our amazing artists and have them walk you through their unique processes - both technical and emotional. We’ll laugh about the crazy things that sometimes happen at our gallery. We'll talk about relevant trends in the art world. Stick with us and you'll see the wide variety of topics we plan to cover.

Introducing Mirada's Blog Dogs, Linus & Augie
The beauty of the blog is we can delve into topics best avoided on our more formal website. And that is why we now introduce you to Linus and Augie, the Mirada 'Blog Dogs.' For any of our Mirada regulars, you have undoubtedly met (or at least seen) these two hip canines. One of the best things about our location is that we can bring Linus and Augie to work with us, even if they don't hang out inside the gallery during business hours (they tend to be lickers and sniffers). Like Mirada's art, Linus and Augie are definitely one-of-a-kind. They like to hang out behind the gallery overlooking their domain - the Mirada parking lot.
Throughout their lives, Linus and Augie have had the privilege of being exposed to art...and they have definite opinions of what they like and what they will raise a hind leg to. Linus has a refined palette and loves the impressionist period. He can gaze into a Monet for hours, or at least until a hot poodle struts by. Augie, on the other hand, savors edgier pieces. He appreciates Edvard Munch's 'Scream' and can relate to the inner turmoil the piece so vividly portrays.
Naturally, both Linus and Augie love C.M. Coolidge's 'Dogs Playing Poker.' A classic is a classic.
In future blogs, Linus and Augie will critique regional works of art and unique exhibits. We think you'll find their unique perspectives and rating systems refreshing. Since they are obviously biased when it comes to the art found at Mirada Fine Art, they'll avoid reviewing their absolute favorite artists. Stay tuned...

Ola! I just came across your blog. I look forward to reading about Linus' and Augie's take on various artists. It's always nice to see the perspective of dogs in other countries. Here in Portugal not many dogs are interested in art, but I'm working on that.
