Finally a Really Productive Week!

I love getting lots of things accomplished each week and to say I fall short of the mark most of the time is an understatement. 
You see I have neighbors who love to cruise over to my place every afternoon (morning, evening, whenever) for coffee and although it's nice that they want to come over to see what I am doing each day it can be counter productive sometimes.....ok most of the time.
I finally managed this week though, to kindly explain I needed some "alone creative time" and IT WORKED! YAY!
So I was able to work on a couple of paintings to donate for an auction to benefit the local animal shelter.
Because this is a small town and unemployment is high our local shelters are always struggling for help. Sadly although I have been leaving messages all week to find out where and when the auction is, no one has returned my call! So later today I will be putting these on paintings on Ebay and donating the proceeds to the shelter.
I have always used the proceeds from my pet portraits to care for my rescue pets also, so if anyone would ever like to have a portrait done of their pet please do let me know and I will be happy to work out a price with you!
Have a wonderful weekend...and keep creating beauty in your life!

    Tina, once again I am in awe of the beautiful work that you create and admire your for your generosity in sharing your talent!!

    I was going to ask you to do a portrait for someone that I've gotten to know blogging--Their dog is ill, and knowing how much Tanner's portrait means to me, I thought they would like one as well--But today they posted one that they received from another follower of their blog. While the painting is lovely, I know if you had done it, it would have been stunning and you would have captured the spirit of their beloved companion!!

    Beautiful animals! Aren't rescue animals the best? All of our cats have adopted us, but Zoe was purchased. It's funny how people think that making art is not a job or it just happens and does not take hard work. If they only knew...
