My journey from a technical and strict discipline of forensic and composite art to fine art. I'm trying to unfurl my wings to fly into this new field but I'm still struggling to get out of my cocoon!
"To be an artist is to believe in life."
-Henry Moore (1898-1986)
Sheila, what a wonderful picture that captures such a great personality. I can't seem to find the Art for Animals blog this morning. I realize I don't know how to search for blogs on blogspot.com. I would love to read about Misty.
Hi Sheila, I've got your Art for Animals on my blog list and am trying to get down to a very special shelter here in Hout Bay, Cape Town to get a pic of my first dog for your marvellous blog! Will get there - you have a dedicated animal lover here! Misty is gorgeous.
I love these animal paintings and the concept behind them. I am trying to consider the best way to integrate this into my own routine. I will never forget walking to an animal shelter and seeing all the cats in their cages get up and walk towards the front of the cages as if to say, "pick me, pick me!" I knew I couldn't take them all home but this would be a way that I could help all of them. Great idea, and thanks.

My apologies. The link is up now. That's what I get for trying to blog before coffee.
hugs!
What a wonderful painting! And the white cat, too!
Impressive, you nailed a personality with this pup dog, nice brushwork.
Great dog portrait Sheila. Looks like a collie mix. I grew up with collies.
Hi Sheila,
What a happy, perky pet. This whole painting is lively!
Hi Sheila...A great memorial to Misty. Love your style in this.

I concur, you are doing such wonderful work for a wonderful cause.
And you capture a great range of expression in your portraits.
