Darcy

 


I love to pay special attention when I start a picture, to the eyes. If I cannot capture the longing and the light in the eyes, then I do not feel I can do justice to the beauty of the dog.

I love this picture. I feel Darcy’s eyes are shining  out with longing. They say, “ Will you love me?”

The Little Page of Dog Promotions

Image
I am truly delighted to raise awareness of this wonderful Facebook page which highlights the plight of dogs desperately in need of foster and adoption. I am so proud they featured my picture of Dottie, a beautiful pregnant dog who was rescued on the streets of Romania and gave birth safely to her puppies in a private shelter. There are so many dogs needing loving caring homes. I really hope that the portraits I do, bring out the dog’s beauty and enable it to be seen. It’s quite amazing how drawing the pictures touch  and bring out the dog’s deeper, often hidden emotion. Hopefully they reveal something more of the dog . Drawing the dogs  brings me such a great sense of connection and enormous love for them.

Freddy RIP

Image
  Poor Freddy died in Romania before he could be fostered or adopted. He was an older dog and his sad end made us sorrowful. I felt he deserved to be remembered, so tried to draw an image of him. I wish we had been able to offer him a home. I wish he had felt loved and special. This is the best I can do to honour him. https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/2023/09/19/freddy/ https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/2024/10/17/rip-poor-little-freddy/

Wonderful to support Pups and Paws CIC and PennyPaws Rescue Charity with my art

Image
How wonderful that Pups and Paws CIC has raised money to donate to wards transport costs to help two dogs in Romania potentially travel to the UK. It was a joy to draw these images to help support the imitative. https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/woody-available-for-adoption/ Ginger is one of the Spice pups. https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/2024/11/28/the-spice-pups/ We are really hoping both dogs will find a foster or adoption home soon so that they can come to the UK to escape the bitter Romanian winter. See pups and paws website to see how they are supporting animal and bird charities: https://www.pupspawsprevention.com/
