Happy birthday, Stubbs.

Stubbs, Portrait of a Hound, 1790



George Stubbs was born on this date in 1724.


Cultivate an ever-continuous power of observation. Wherever you are, be always ready to make slight notes of postures, groups and incidents. Store up in the mind ... a continuous stream of observations from which to make selections later. Above all things get abroad; see the sunlight and everything that is to be seen. 

John Singer Sargent
