My "Party Animals" original pen/ink/watercolor painting up for auction to benefit A Place To Bark
Hey all! I am very pleased to announce that the Party Animals original art auctions to benefit A Place To Bark are now LIVE and tick-tick-ticking away on Ebay! All auctions are five-day auctions only. All of them will end on October 20th. Plenty of great artwork to be had, and all of the auctions start at just $20! This is all-original art we are talking about, too! Very exciting, very fun, and ALL proceeds go to benefit animal rescue sanctuary A Place To Bark. The proceeds will go directly to taking care of and rehabilitating previously abandoned and abused animals.
There is not a better feeling than being able to helping another living being who desperately needs it. This is a wonderful way to give of your heart but also get something wonderful in return. All of the works were created with big hearts and a generous, giving spirit. All of the works of art were made expressly for the Party Animals project, and were made with positive intentions for the animals. Please find your favorites, and please bid!!!
In this next-to-last video demo of my Party Animals painting contribution, I show you one way that I like to use metallic paint. I also give tips on adding texture to your painting, and how a little shading can help elevate your work. > Enter my Party Animals book giveaway

MY favorite breed is the Boston Terrier, because its the only breed of dog I have ever had, and I just have total love for it!! Now... off to tweet about this!
I have always wanted a schipperke. Or a greyhound. I'm thinking of compromising with an italian greyhound - if my landlady would allow me to have any dog at all. :(. Someday. m.b
Wow, people sure love them some pugs. But what about the border collie? THEY'RE actually the best dogs in the world. They're the epitome of what a dog should be, smart, loyal, and they love to help you get your exercise...I could go on, but let me close by saying two words:black and white; they go with EVERYthing.
Scotties! I love 'em! And I had a neighbor with a Great Pyrenees mountain dog, and he was the sweetest, cutest, biggest pup ever- so now that's a favorite kind!
Kathy, I love dogs of all kinds, and have two mixed breeds from the SPCA. However, I have a big soft spot in my heart for collies. My first dog, after I moved out on my own, was a rescued collie mix. She was the sweetest dog ever and she was my buddy for 15 years. She was terrified of storms though, and I think of her every time one rolls through. :)

My favorite dog breed is called Tracy, half Lab and half German Shepherd! Tracies are good at retrieving, but do so in circles around the yard.
I recently took part in a truly wonderful art project. I, along with 20 other pet portrait artists, were invited to create and contribute works of art to be published in a uniquely themed art book.
It's called "Party Animals", and if you remember last years' benefit art book that I contributed to and blogged about ("Dogs Rule"), this one could be considered a "Part Two" of sorts. Jill Beninato of Sit Stay Smile is the responsible "party" for "Party" -- she spearheaded the "Dog's Rule" project herself and made it all happen! She came back at us with "Party Animals" this year . Once again it is an honor to be a contributor. Like last year, this years' book includes art images that were specifically created for the project by each of the artists. The interpretation of the theme of "Party Animals" was the goal, and each artist was given free reign!
This time though, the party is even BIGGER and more shareable (yes, that's really a word - I looked it up), because, unlike last years' project, ANYONE can enjoy a beautiful copy of this years' collaborative project because copies are for sale, with ALL proceeds - every nickel - going to benefit A Place To Bark. (Plus, your purchase is entirely tax-deductible.)
I can tell you first-hand that the quality of the printing and binding of this 'zine is gorgeous and lovely. I am proud to have my work in the book, and to be among so many other extremely talented artists who are not only each boldly unique in their own artistic voices, but who are also very generous and caring people who are all joined by our love and support of animal welfare. Because the entire monetary proceeds of the 'zine go directly to A Place To Bark, you know that your $20 purchase is making a HUGE positive impact. (The great art, beautiful printing, and inspiring words in this book make it truly gift-worthy as well).
If THAT isn't ENOUGH, the ORIGINAL ARTWORKS printed in the 'zine will be auctioned off on Ebay on October 15, with all benefits going to A Place To Bark. Mark your calendars!!
