Meet Fawn, the sweetie cow from Woodstock Farm Sanctuary, an animal rescue located in Woodstock, New York.
Fawn captured the heart of people everywhere with her beautiful spirit and inspirational story. You can read it here. Or watch this video.
I created an original painting of Fawn, and DawgArt is having an art auction to help raise money for the direct care of the rescued animals at Woodstock Farm Sanctuary. Here's the painting:
It's 16x20 inches, acrylic on canvas. It will arrive wired and ready to hang.
If you don't have a budget for original art, you can buy a print. Proceeds from the sales of prints will go to Woodstock as well. Here's the link to the DawgArt Etsy shop.
80% of the proceeds will be donated to Woodstock Farm Sanctuary.
The bidding has opened on Dancing Nathan's DawgArt portraits! Read about the fundraiser here.
Scroll down for auction links.
Each painting is 16x20 inches, acrylic on canvas, and will come wired on the back and ready to hang. Proceeds will go to Bald is Beautiful Dog Rescue to help homeless animals. Spread the word and have fun bidding.
(An important note about how bidding words on Daily Paint Works:
Enter the highest bid you are interested in doing and the computer can input the bids for you while you are away, just like eBay. If you attempt to enter a bid and Daily Paint Works prompts you to enter a higher value, that just means that someone's highest bid is higher than your current bid so far. You will be prompted to enter a higher value until your bid can beat someone else's current highest.)
Check it out! The Dancing Nathan's second pet portrait is done:
Dancing Nathan, the silly Chinese Crested hairless dog, whose dance moves have appeared on The Ellen Show, helped bring attention to his organization, Bald Is Beautiful Dog Rescue.
Now DawgArt and Bald Is Beautiful are teaming up to raise money for rescued animals! Details here.
Want to join in the fun? Tune in tomorrow to see where the paintings will be listed for auction and how you can help.
Great news! Dancing Nathan's first portrait is done.
Nathan, the effervescent Chinese Crested hairless dog from Bald is Beautiful Dog Rescue, made the rescue famous when his dance moves went viral.
Now DawgArt is helping them with a fundraiser. I'm making two paintings of Nathan, and we'll auction them to raise money for the rescue. See the details here.
I have another painting to finish and then you'll get a chance to bid on both! Pass the word along so we can get people excited about helping the sweet pooches with Bald is Beautiful.
You guys know Dancing Nathan, the Chinese Crested pop sensation? His dance moves went viral, gaining much-needed publicity for Bald Is Beautiful, a hairless and small breed dog rescue operating out of South Carolina. If you haven't seen Nathan's awesome dance moves, check him out here.
Nathan's joyful and goofy personality won over the Internets. His video even appeared on The Ellen Show!
In cooperation with Bald Is Beautiful and Nathan's mom, I am going to be painting a portrait (maybe two) this sweetie-pie dancing diva. The piece will then be auctioned to raise money for Bald Is Beautiful!
Stay tuned to see progress of the piece and have fun dancing!
One of my favorite rescues to work with is Wildhorse Ranch Rescue in Gilbert, AZ. Not only is the founder and chairman Kim Meagher a wonderful person, she's a dear friend. I just love her. She is one of the kindest human beings I know. She started Wildhorse Ranch when she discovered the plight of homeless horses in 1995.
She and her children privately rescued horses until 2000, when she applied for non-profit status for WHRR. With the help of many friends, volunteers, and donors, Kim and WHRR have been able to help save many horses from abuse, neglect, and death.
This past week, when they were travelling back from an event, someone on the freeway slammed into the horse trailer, resulting in serious injuries for Einstein, a much-loved horse rescued by WHRR.
Einstein (pre-accident)
In order to help raise money for Einstein's care and recovery, I volunteered to make some artwork featuring Einstein. We are auctioning these paintings, the proceeds from the sales of which will be donated back to WHRR. Scroll down to find bidding links.
Here are the paintings, both acrylic on canvas with color wrapping around the edges.
"Kick Up Your Heels" - 24x30 inches. This piece is large and stunning with vivid colors. This image celebrates the energy and joy of a rescued animal, rendered in the brilliant colors of the Southwest.
"Little Sister" - 16x20 inches. This piece is smaller, but no less vibrant. It features an image of Einstein meeting his new little herd sister, Pixie the burro. The original reference photo hangs in the barn at the ranch. I love it because it reminds me of the unfailing generosity and devotion of Kim and the rescue angels at WHRR. That a strong bond can be formed between the most unlikely of friends.
Auctions will end on Sunday night, February 1st at 9pm. Please share this post with your friends and your network to spread the word about Einstein and WHRR.
Check it out! DawgArt will be the last item auction at the Wake County SPCA Fur Ball black-tie fundraiser this year. The painting featuring Ernest (which I had so much fun creating), will be printed on thousands of invitations and 500 programs. To see the painting close-up, click here. Prints of the piece will be available after the auction.
