A Dozen Happy Hounds

A Dozen Happy Hounds by Laurie McIntosh captures the joyful energy and distinct personalities of twelve eager dogs gathered together in a lively pack. With expressive linework and Laurie’s signature reduction printmaking style, each hound feels unique, creating a piece that is full of movement, character, and charm. Dog lovers will find themselves returning again and again to discover new details, from alert expressions to wagging tails and playful poses.

Printed on cotton paper and hand-signed and numbered by the artist, this limited edition linocut reflects the craftsmanship and spontaneity that have made Laurie's work so beloved. Her bold use of line and warm, earthy palette bring the dogs to life while maintaining the handmade quality that makes every print feel personal and engaging.

Created using the linocut reduction process, the image is printed layer by layer from a single block of linoleum. Because each stage requires carving away more of the block before the next color is printed, the process cannot be reversed, making it a demanding and highly respected printmaking technique. The result is a work rich in texture, depth, and individuality.

Whether displayed in a home, office, hunting lodge, or collection of sporting art, A Dozen Happy Hounds is a celebration of dogs, companionship, and the simple joy they bring to everyday life.
