Label TextBill's Walking the Straight and Narrow, His Dog Ain't is based on the artist’s father-in-law, Bill, a farmer from rural Ohio. The artist’s style is influenced by 18th century European figurative porcelain but the artist represents every day, and somewhat mundane, scenes from American life.
