I was given the opportunity to paint to help a Local rescue .... Friends of Falmouth Dog Rescue (Massachusetts) ...read about them here:
http://friendsoffalmouthdogs.org/aboutus.html
They have some beautiful dogs in foster care waiting for adoption and one of them is TYSON...a gorgeous black and white American Staffordshire Terrier aka "Pit Bull" who is waiting for the right family to love him and give him the security of a forever home.
As many people have come to know these dogs by the unfortunate circumstance of their abuse and improper handling there are many others who know the true essence of the breed. Tyson is a baby really...just under a year and learning to become a best friend and family pet. He is beautiful and has a loving nature.
I am proud to do a portrayal of him at the beach looking handsome and daydreaming of that forever home each companion animal deserves! I will have more about his story in the next installment.
Here is the FIRST LOOK at a work in progress and there will be more to come. It is the first pass of an 8x10 oil on canvas.
I will offer this painting to help the rescue....Stay tuned!
Oh, I just can't wait to see the finished painting of Tyson. You are so good to help these poor homeless pets.
ReplyDeleteI am awarding you "A Passion for Painting" award. If you'd like to accept it, just go to my blog Texas Sauce Art Life, pick up the award to post on your blog and list seven things you love. Then you will send it to seven other deserving artists. That's all there is to it, but the award carries a nice sentiment and coming from one's peers, it means a lot. Congrtulations!
