Big Dog Art

Tonight is the reception for artist Gil Jawetz at the Yellow Dog Tavern -- a new bar at 700 S. Potomac Street that is featuring Jawetz's "Big Dogs" exhibit this month.

The reception and wine tasting starts at 6 p.m.

Jawetz is donating 5 percent of from the sale of his paintings to Recycled Love, a non-profit dog rescue organization in Baltimore.

The works are based on digital photos Jawetz collected over seven years of visits to dog parks in Baltimore and Brooklyn, NY.

The owners of the Yellow Dog -- who are dog-friendly -- regret that they can't allow dogs inside due to state laws that prohibit dogs where food is served.

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
