Today we have ‘Whippet’, a colour that features in so many McKee paintings to depict his beloved character Frank. Pete loves to capture the companionship we have with our pets. And the importance of the dogs we grow up with, find comfort in, and love deeply as key members of the family. Whippets also feature heavily in Pete’s work due to their northern and working class roots. He reclaims the phrase ‘whippet and flat cap’ as a symbol of pride and northern solidarity. Do you have a furry friend in your life who Pete’s ‘Whippet’ colour reminds you of?
