A BOOK ABOUT PAINTING AND DOGS When Peter Shahrokh came home with his family and their new puppy on a dreary afternoon in February, he had no idea of the turn his life had taken. He hadn't wanted a dog, but his wife and daughter had insisted on it. The next day, the little fellow was following behind him in the backyard but got too curious and fell into the cold swimming pool. Peter pulled him out, of course, and from there, his evolution as a watercolorist changed as he came to understand and portray the nature of humanity's greatest companion, the dog. Teach Me the Love that is Evergreen captures this pilgrimage through the many portraits that show how one painter developed his skills to show his love of this special animal. The name of the book, Teach Me the Love that Is Evergreen, is a line from a poem, "In the White Giant's Thigh", by the Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas.
