I have a deep fondness for Billy’s work. There is something comforting about her childlike naive style. Charming stuff, but there is often a low-level undercurrent of contemporary commentary – not in this piece though. This is straight and simple, it is a dog with funny hair.
I think that Billy would make a fantastic illustrator of children’s books, as the uncomplicated images contain a narrative, which could relate very easily to a story book story. This piece was painted as part of a paint jam alongside painting friends, Merny and Mr Penfold, among others.
