Their Lives In Our Hands

Their Lives in Our Hands - 5.75" x 7" oil on hardboard/masonite

The beagle puppy in this painting is helpless and vulnerable. It is being kept safe and secure in loving hands. Unfortunately there are dogs to whom hands signify cruelty and pain - a horrific thought. Thankfully, there are many people who give up their time, money and even peace of mind in order to help these dogs, having to sometimes go into terrible conditions to rescue them. Those of us who care for dogs can all do something to help, however small and if you're not in the market for a painting at the moment, perhaps you could spare a donation.

A 10% donation will be made to BONES Beagle rescue when this painting is sold.

SOLD

A Spot of Lunch - painting of Dalmatian puppies

What a hectic week! I've been busy with website and paperwork which never leaves enough time to paint!

I sent this painting off to a lovely lady in the USA this week. It's a painting I really like so I hope she likes it too! :) The donation from this painting went to Save the Dalmatians. I don't know how these fantastic rescuers manage to cope with some of the dreadful things they see but thank goodness they do!

I'm just putting the final touches to a Belgian Shepherd Dog - Terveuren variety - at the moment and will post that when it's finished. This one is a private commission - very necessary for a full-time artist!

It's reasonably nice weather here today so the dogs (my girls as I call them!) are able to sunbathe outside rather than being stuck indoors - lucky them!

Back to work now. More coming very soon.
