Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me - 7" x 5" oil on hardboard/masonite
This is another dog rescued by Eileen, the woman who rescued the dog in the painting "In A Dog's Eyes".
Indie was a puppy rescued from a the Metro Animal Services shelter in Louisville, KY, where Eileen says that most animals are euthanized. She was shy, stressed and scared. Another puppy in the kennel who looked just like Indie was adopted but returned to the shelter a few months later and was going to be euthanized. Eileen pleaded her case and got her out to an adoption event at Petsmart where she was adopted by a wonderful family.
Eileen herself adopted Indie and Indie is a sweet natured, happy girl now - full of fun and love.
The title of this painting, from the song of the same name, came to me while I was painting it and I feel it is particularly apt for all those dogs in shelters who are in danger of losing their lives while waiting for their own special family.

When this painting is sold, I will make a donation of 10% from the profits to an animal rescue charity. I haven't decided which one yet as I'm wondering whether a pitbull rescue might be appropriate as Indie is one of this breed and I know they have a difficult time finding homes in view of their reputation. I will let the purchaser know which charity will be the recipient and also post it here. Following some research, I've decided the charity which will benefit from any donation from the sale of this painting will be Bad Rap Pitbull Rescue.
This painting is straight off the easel and will need to dry for several days before it can be shipped

Indie and the painting is beautiful. I happy Indie was rescued. A fellow dog lover.
Thank you very much :) Yes, it's too awful to think what might have happened to Indie had she not been rescued by Eileen.
