First Look! BLACK DOG ZEN

9x12

oil on canvas
Brady was my inspiration for this painting, he is the Black Lab of my friend Tracy.

He loves the beach as any Labrador does.

The minimal scape with the billowing clouds and waving dune grass lend a peaceful sensibility.

The black lab surveys the sea below.

This painting is available to help the dogs in final refuge care or senior foster care through

FROM THE EASEL

First Look:

" Welcome"

is inspired by a beagle named Ren who is awaiting adoption at

B.O.N.E.S.

Beagles of New England States

rescue.

REN

3 year old malegood with dogs, cats and children over 4
Goofy, silly and full of fun! This young beagle boy is ready for action, so bring your hiking shoes, tennis ball or doggy playmate! Ren is a sweet happy social young boy -he knows some of his basic commands, loves to ride in the car and adores going for walks.
He will need to learn some of the finer points of living in a home (house training, not counter surfing) but he's ready to go , and eager to please.
If you have an active home looking for a fun loving dog - look at Ren!

When this painting is ready I will list it for

BONES.

Lets hope he finds his forever home soon!

He is gorgeous.

20 % will be donated from the sale of the painting

READ ALL ABOUT THEM:

What We Do
OldDog Haven is a very small group of people with a network of foster homes and supporters. Our goal is to provide a loving, safe home for senior dogs abandoned at this stage of their lives. When we have room, and the means, we take these dogs into our homes; if possible we adopt out those with a reasonable life-expectancy. We care for the rest as long as they have good quality of life. In addition, we try to assist owners in finding new homes for their senior dogs through our website and referrals.
