Dogs enjoy life’s simple pleasures in Carol Saxe’s affectionate and endearing “Dogs Eyeview.” For 30 years, Saxe has created representational works depicting dogs inspired by local canines, as well as coastal scenes, architecture and cats. Her style, which she calls interpretive realism, blends light and shadow in abstract patterns, and manmade and natural surfaces in layered, transparent paints. Lighthearted and endearing, the book “The Dog Lover’s Guide to the Good Life,” will feature Saxe’s heartwarming hounds.
