Painting a Dog a Day - Thursday, November 6th, 2008

[Kim Santini]

 

"Dazzle," 6" square, Paws with a Cause service dog portrait, acrylic on board, $249 to the first buyer. Proceeds from the sale of this painting will be donated to Paws with a Cause. Inquiries may come to ksan...@turtledovedesigns.com .

 

Paws with a Cause is a national group dedicated to providing assistance dogs for people with disabilities. They also provide a lifetime of support, fostering independance. I took this from their mission statement - read more for yourself at www.pawswithacause.org.

 

In the beginning of the Painting a Dog a Day project I met UKON, a Paws service dog. Shortly after that, I got to paint Madison and Sirius, and the list goes on and on. Each Paws dog I meet is uniquely special, and to personally witness the bond they share with their person is humbling. To support the efforts of Paws with a Cause through my painting sales is phenomenal.

 

I met Dazzle last winter at the Detroit Kennel Club dog show. She was all too eager to go through her paces and make a new friend, but her mind was on work the whole time as well. Dazzle helps her person do just about everything, although I've been warned that she doesn't sort laundry that well.

 

Thanks, as always, for your time in following the Dog-a-Day paintings.

Please do share these with your friends and family.

See you tomorrow - I've got a dear little chihuahua in the works!
