| 8x8 Oil on Board (Commission) |
Over the years I have taken notice of what we do with our lives, I have tended to have had many creative pursuits which have given me pleasure and dropped them along the way. Over the last little while I have enjoyed oil painting and made small pictures that have given me pleasure and a few family members have a few paintings as small gifts.
I had managed to keep quite a few of them when an opportunity came up to give them to a charity for an auction to raise money for rescued animals. Although it didn't raise much it was ( $55) enough to help go towards the rest of the items sold which made a small donation for Animal rescue amounting to just over $2000 dollars.
It gave me an idea to continue to enjoy my pastime and give something back to Animal Rescue by selling pictures of dogs and cats. I have been able to paint several dog portraits which actually gave the owners a kick to have a small portrait of their pets. Seeing that there is an interest And an opportunity I have started a new blog called Art saves Animals (ASA) and will be posting pictures of some of the pets so far. Hope it give you pleasure as much as me!

Very expressive painting Babs. I am sure the owner really loves it.The coat is really well done.
ReplyDeleteI paint all of my pets as they pass on and it really helps with the loss.
Thanks for doing this for the animals.$ 2000 will go a really long way in helping.
What a wonderful idea for such a good cause. Such a sweet portrait!
