Ferdinand, Sanctuary One Steer

This is a recent painting of another Sanctuary One animal, Ferdinand! The original painting, as well as prints, are for sale – 10% of the sales price will be donated to Sanctuary One.

Lisa, Sanctuary One Pig

 

This is a painting of Lisa, a Santuary One resident. She was rescued after being beaten by her previous owner and now lives a happy life at Santuary One! I couldn’t resist giving Lisa a bit of a glamour makeover while I was working on this, so she is pinked up and a bit less hairy! The painting was inspired by a photograph of her “talking”, taken by a Sanctuary One photographer. I think she looks like she is laughing, “hamming it up”! This is the first of several Sanctuary One animal paintings in process. Ten percent of sales for these paintings and prints will be donated to Sanctuary One.

Featured Artist at Starbucks in Medford!

Some of my newer animal paintings & prints are on display the month of August at Starbucks on the south end of Medford (across the street from the Harry and David Country Store).  A new painting of a  shelter bunny and a Pit Bull puppy (Beauford) are included as part of the show!  All work on display is for sale – information is available at the front counter.

"Art For Pitties" – Even Chance Charity Auction Starts August 22nd on Ebay Charities Website

Just finished my painted tote bag for the “Art for Pitties” fundraiser which begins August 15th via the internet.  Fifty+ artists have donated one of a kind tote bags and other items to be auctioned off to support Even Chance, a Pit Bull resource, rescue and advocacy group based in San Diego. I am a Pit Bull owner and have also been a Pit Bull foster parent. They are amazing dogs – smart, loving and total “people pleasers”. I’ve painted my Pit Bull Riley several times, so for this tote bag I painted Roscoe, our first foster dog! Please support this fundraiser – they are also auctioning off art which is not on a tote bag. Betty White even donated something – no kidding!  www.artforpitties.blogspot.com
