Dogs in Brazil

I have just completed a Pet Portrait for a Lady in Brazil who runs a small NO KILL rescue for street dogs in Brazil. Jan has launched an urgent appeal She has no funds they have lost almost everything as a result of severe weather and floods where she lives. She has to re locate with zero funds plus move all of her rescued dogs with her. Please see her story here. http://janeiro-emmy.blogspot.com/.

If you can, please follow her on twitter, vote and donate. Even a small amount will help. It all adds up.

German Shepherd Painting

This portrait is of her first rescue, a German Shepherd called Harry. This is a short story of Harry as written by his mum Jan Cabral:

He was found by two friends of ours the morning after a huge shoot out between drug gangs and cops walking in the middle of dense traffic. Everybody was too afraid to go near him. He had mange and was very thin. Our friends new we wanted a German Shepherd dog and decided to approach him and try to get him out of the Copacabana traffic where he was at great risk of being run over. He came to our friend willingly and they put him in their car and took him home. They called us and we said we will have him. He arrived the next day. He was so thin I did not believe he was a German Shepherd and he was half bald with mange. He was also extremely stressed. His first day here he stole the BBQ meat for our guests. He settled down and turned into the best friend ever. He would defend us with his life. He never ever messed in the house. He had been trained by someone because he sat, gave his paw, laid down and attacked upon command. All these things we found out bit by bit. He was sensitive and caring. Beautiful by looks and nature. I so miss him. He died of a heart attack around two years ago. He must have been around 11 years of age. He just screamed and died instantly. He was running and healthy until that moment. Misty was his best friend and they loved each other dearly. He was the only dog here that she ever played with. I still remember the softness of his fur. Loved him so much.

New Art Work

I have just created some new artwork. I have uploaded them to Zazzle.  They can be seen on Cards, Gift Boxes, Bags and iPad cases. Take a look and leave a comment if you wish. Here is the artwork for you to see:

Pink Oriental Lily - A digital Coloured Pencil Drawing

I love Lilies and I often buy them when I am out shopping, to brighten up my lounge table.

I took the photo for this picture some time ago and decided a few days ago to have a play. This was the result. It is a combination of several special effects filters and blend modes.

White Floral Bouquet - A Texturised Digital Oil Painting

The photo for this painting was from a bouquet that I was given to me on my birthday. Every flower was perfect.

Again, several filters were used to achieve this effect. I then added a textured border using different brushes and layer effects.

Robin- Coloured Pencil Drawing   

I took the photo of this little Robin when we had snow last year. He was sitting on the gate at the bottom of my garden. He, with all the other birds, was waiting his turn to feast on the treats I had put out.

I have created a Christmas card with this image.

New Products Added to Zazzle Today!

I have uploaded some more new products today. I have added several premium gift boxes, some floral and some Pet Portraits. These lovely little boxes are made of wood and have a magnetic lid. They are fantastic for storing jewellery or small keepsakes.
