Back in 1946, Marjory Rogers Donaldson painted what a typical class would look like for her. Painting right in the Owens Art Gallery was a common occurrence, allowing students to learn to paint by copying works from the Owens Collection.

Alex Colville often placed animals at the heart of his work saying ‘Without animals everything is incomplete.’ In Border Collie (1972), a focused collie meets our gaze, ready to work with the flock of sheep in the distance.
