Blue & Yellow Macaw - I really enjoyed painting the first bird the other day and since I received so many nice emails about it I thought I would paint another one similar to it. This one takes a little more aggressive view. Let me know what you think of it....

THE WHITE PARROT - How do you give a painting personality? To me the scene has to depict action or emotion of some kind, sometimes a small action will do. In this painting I tried to bring out the personality by showing the bird looking curiously at the viewer. You tell me, did I accomplish it??? Comments welcomed.

Tippi - Tippi was "evidence" in animal cruelty case (approx. 300 dogs and cats) in southern California. Her rescuer, after having possession of Tippi for less than a month, had to humanely euthanize her due to nerve sheath cancer, a very painful cancer. Tippi was her most heartfelt and painful rescue.

In the cruelty case one perpetrator, a woman, was recently sentenced to 16 months in state prison and another woman was sentenced to 365 days in county jail with five years probation--a condition of which is that she not own any pets or work with any organization devoted to the care, boarding or adoption of animals.

The picture I worked from to create this painting was taken on the day Tippi was laid to sleep. Your comments are always welcome...

My First Bird - After painting a number of dogs I was asked if I had ever painted birds. Well, I hadn't done one since I was about 14yrs or so (approximately 50 years ago) and in those days I just sketched, so I thought it was about time I painted one. I gave it a try and I like the way it turned out. I've got more dogs to do and will start another commission dog painting today, but sometime in the near future I'll do some more birds. How about some comments as I like to know how I am progressing........

Natividad - My client tells me that an artist, (yes an artist) paid kids to capture a starving dog off the street. The artist then put the dog in a public art exhibition and refused to unchain it, give it water or give it food. The visitors to the exhibit were eating and drinking right next to the dog as it was chained. I'm sure the dog smelled the food and would have loved some water. Natividad died while on exhibition. The name of the exhibit was on the wall and was made out of dog food of all things. The exhibit was outside the US and for those of you who want to look at the actual exhibit, here is the link:

Her eyes tell her story. I tried to leave a comment of disgust, but the blog site is no longer open for comments. I wonder why!

Justice - I've pictured her as she was found. Justice was found along NJ roadside and had been used as a drug mule. She had been forced to swallow drug filled packets, allowing for hidden transportation of drugs. She was bound with a strap around her neck and duct tape on her muzzle and apparently gutted for the drugs within. Her cause-of-death was hemorrhagic shock. My client believes to combat situations like this you have to talk about them and get mad. So here you are. Your comments are always welcome....

The Silky - Some folks at our coffee klatch, Jerry & Pricilla had a silky for years until it passed away a couple years ago. It was a rescue dog and had found a good life with her owners. They now have another rescue dog and are working to acclimate it into society. She still will nip at you if she feels threatened, however the "cute factor" makes up for it. Your comments are welcome........

Got Mice?? - I've painted a number of dogs in the last month so I decided to try a cat for a change. I've never tried one before. I attempted to capture a look of interest and alertness on the part of the feline, after all the title is "Got Mice??". Did I do it? I always welcome your comments.

Angel - Just after her surgery - She Is another rescued dog, weighs 9 pounds and is a 3-year-old spaniel terrier mix.

It is thought that Angel had a wire wrapped around her muzzle for more than 6 weeks. The wounds left by the wire completely encircled Angel's muzzle and were so deep that her teeth were exposed on the side. The wire allowed her to eat, but each time she moved her jaw, it cut even deeper into her skin.

She made a full recovery and was adopted by the family that fostered her following her surgery and treatment.

There is a $15,000 reward.

Mercy - A pit bull mix was a rescue dog. Mercy was a 10 month-old puppy. The 22-year-old owner stabbed his dog, poured an accelerant on her stomach and set her on fire because she wouldn't mate. She lived for 10 days and showed some improvement. Her condition deteriorated and she was given a plasma transfusion, but shortly afterward, her heart--weakened by burns over 60% of her body, stopped beating. Her abuser was captured and is serving 4 years in prison.

Just completed this morning and will need some drying time prior to delivery

Tibetan Terrier pup - According to legend, the Tibetan Terrier originated in the Lost Valley of Tibet over 2000 years ago. They were raised in the monasteries and were never sold but might be given to someone who had done the lamas a favor or to a visiting dignitary; this association with the monasteries gave them the name Holy Dog of Tibet.
