Who doesn’t love a cute French Bulldog? Holiday cards featuring my painting “Wide-Eyed Red” are now available through my website (request cards through my contact page), at my Etsy and Artsydog stores (www.inspiredpetportraits.etsy.com and www.inspiredpetportraits.artsydog.com.artsydog.com/), and at the Ashland Art Center (Studio 3). As with all of my work, 10% of the purchase price will be donated to local animal charities and rescue groups.  Cards are professionally printed on heavy cardstock with a high gloss finish and are packaged with white envelopes in a clear cellophane wrapper for protection. The outside of the card reads  “Thinking of You This Holiday Season”; the interior  says “Wishing you joy and happiness throughout the coming year!” . Cards are $3 individually, $10 for a package of 4, and $18 for a package of 8, plus shipping. 

This is a painting of Wrigley. He was rescued from a truck carrying young horses born to Premarin mares to their death. He now lives in Ashland, and was trained as a riding horse by an artist friend’s daughter for her senior project at Ashland High School. He is so beautiful, it’s hard to believe he was going to be euthanized. Many other young horses on the same truck were not so fortunate.

Three of my paintings were accepted into this wonderful show featuring pet portraits in a variety of art mediums. The artist reception is on Sunday, September 11 from 2-4 at the Jaycee Park Center for the Arts, 1975 Puritan Drive, Irving, Texas and the show runs from August 29 – September 22. The  Jaycee Park Cener for the Arts is open Sunday/Monday/Wednesday from 1-4PM and Tuesdays/Thursdays from 10:30 – 3PM. If you are in the area, stop in and see the show. I will be attending the artist reception on the 11th.
