CUSTOM DOG PORTRAITS FOR CHRISTMAS WHITE SPITZ

Daisy

14x11 inches / oil on panel

SOLD

No matter how many pet portraits I paint, when first viewing my clients' photos, I'm always in awe of the beautiful creatures with whom we are privileged to share this Earth. Here, this white snowball of fluff, Daisy, is absolutely irresistible . . . just wish I could snuggle kisses in that thick white fur!

A little postscript...

I just love receiving photos from my clients when they frame and display their paintings, but I've never received one with the model in the pic! Isn't Daisy just amazingly beautiful...and she's even sitting on the very same rug! I'm so glad she gave me a "Paws up!" :o)

footprints

FOOTPRINTS
One night I had a dream--I dreamed I was walking
along the beach with the Lord and across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints, one belonged to me and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before me,I looked back at the footprints in the sand.I noticed that many times along the path of my life,there was only one set of footprints.I also noticed that it happened at the very lowestand saddest times in my life.This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,you would walk with me all the way, but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my lifethere is only one set of footprints. "I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,you should leave me." The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trial and suffering. "When you saw only one set of footprints,it was then that I carried you."
---Mary Stevenson

THANK YOU

Looking After Them...

To have the priviledge of being alive, healthy and free means one must have a certain responsibility to help those who are less fortunate. In that sentiment, I've recently added a new genre to my portfolio, animal paintings, with a portion of proceeds ranging from 10% to 100% being donated to numerous smaller animal charities and rescue shelters as well as larger organizations such as Humane Society of the United States, World Society for the Protection of Animals, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and so many more, for their use in educating and aggressively pursuing laws that protect animal rights on a global level.

I invite you to join me in this effort as it only takes a little from all of us to make a huge difference in the world . . . the lives of so many depend on us!

Between 10% and 100% of every sale is donated to an animal rights charity or rescue shelter

Between 10% and 100% of every sale is donated to an animal rights charity or rescue shelter to help provide urgent medical attention for injured, abused, neglected animals when rescued, and to those who require food and a warm, safe place to rest until they can find a forever home, and to those senior animals whose families cannot care for them anymore, and for those who were once loved by a family who could no longer afford their food, and for those who are lost and become strays begging for shelter and food at someone's back door, and to those tested in cages of pet food laboratories, and those in medical laboratories who need a voice to stop their nightmarish horror, for those who are raised for food and abused in the process, for those who are forced into fighting, who are forced into varisous sports, who are held captive and defenseless for hunters, to those who will benefit through the passing and enforcement of governmental laws restricting such abuse on a global level.

IMAGINE IT

IMAGINE IT
Absolutely mind boggling statistics reveal that every year in the United States alone, over three million dogs and cats are killed in shelters for one reason . . . no one wanted them. Healthy, lovable and begging for a chance. Through your purchase between 10% and 100% of proceeds help support these shelters. Even a small donation can help save a life. Or just imagine if everyone adopted one or two lovable cats, dogs, rabbits from their local shelter, how many could be spared and given the life they so deserve.

Many of these shelters also accept very desperate animals who have been rescued from lives of neglect and abuse in so many forms. They need immediate medical attention so shelters always need a little extra funding for such emergencies. These people who work firsthand helping animals cannot be commended enough for their guts, grit and determination when all odds are against them, particularly in this current economy. It is now that they need our help more than ever.

Also, I donate to larger international charities that work on a global level to establish and uphold laws making animal abuse a crime. These charities educate the public about behind the scenes abuse such as rodeos, dog races, horse races, bull fighting, dog fighting, cock fighting, cosmetic industry animal testing, medical industry animal test, puppy mills, breeders, etc. There are so many venues which need help from people like you and me. Thank you for your continued support in this new and very personal venture!

cannot take credit

I can only say that our world possesses the beauty. . . I am merely a tool by which to humbly communicate His eartly gifts in paint.

We humans are so in love with this Earth and all her abundance of life that we have an insatiable desire to hold her close at every turn, whether it be in a garden or city windowbox, a purring kitten, playful pup or painting of same hanging on a wall to warm our otherwise blank manmade spaces.

Earth's beauty warms the heart; we artists merely aid in that process.

AUGURIES OF INNOCENCE

AUGURIES OF INNOCENCE
"To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
A robin redbreast in a cage
Puts all heaven in a rage.
A dove-house fill'd with doves and pigeons
Shudders hell thro' all its regions.
A dog starv'd at his master's gate
Predicts the ruin of the state.
A horse misused upon the road
Calls to heaven for human blood.
Each outcry of the hunted hare
A fibre from the brain does tear.
A skylark wounded in the wing,
A cherubim does cease to sing.
The game-cock clipt and arm'd for fight
Does the rising sun affright.
Every wolf's and lion's howl
Raises from hell a human soul.
The wild deer, wand'ring here and there,
Keeps the human soul from care.
The lamb misus'd breeds public strife,
And yet forgives the butcher's knife.
The bat that flits at close of eve
Has left the brain that won't believe.
The owl that calls upon the night
Speaks the unbeliever's fright.
He who shall hurt the little wren
Shall never be belov'd by men.
He who the ox to wrath has mov'd
Shall never be by woman lov'd.
The wanton boy that kills the fly
Shall feel the spider's enmity.
He who torments the chafer's sprite
Weaves a bower in endless night.
The caterpillar on the leaf
Repeats to thee thy mother's grief.
Kill not the moth nor butterfly,
For the last judgement draweth nigh.
He who shall train the horse to war
Shall never pass the polar bar.
The beggar's dog and widow's cat,
Feed them and thou wilt grow fat.
The gnat that sings his summer's song
Poison gets from slander's tongue.
The poison of the snake and newt
Is the sweat of envy's foot.
The poison of the honey bee
Is the artist's jealousy.
The prince's robes and beggar's rags
Are toadstools on the miser's bags.
A truth that's told with bad intent
Beats all the lies you can invent.
It is right it should be so;
Man was made for joy and woe;
And when this we rightly know,
Thro' the world we safely go.
Joy and woe are woven fine,
A clothing for the soul divine.
Under every grief and pine
Runs a joy with silken twine.
The babe is more than swaddling bands;
Every farmer understands.
Every tear from every eye
Becomes a babe in eternity;
This is caught by females bright,
And return'd to its own delight.
The bleat, the bark, bellow, and roar,
Are waves that beat on heaven's shore.
The babe that weeps the rod beneath
Writes revenge in realms of death.
The beggar's rags, fluttering in air,
Does to rags the heavens tear.
The soldier, arm'd with sword and gun,
Palsied strikes the summer's sun.
The poor man's farthing is worth more
Than all the gold on Afric's shore.
One mite wrung from the lab'rer's hands
Shall buy and sell the miser's lands;
Or, if protected from on high,
Does that whole nation sell and buy.
He who mocks the infant's faith
Shall be mock'd in age and death.
He who shall teach the child to doubt
The rotting grave shall ne'er get out.
He who respects the infant's faith
Triumphs over hell and death.
The child's toys and the old man's reasons
Are the fruits of the two seasons.
The questioner, who sits so sly,
Shall never know how to reply.
He who replies to words of doubt
Doth put the light of knowledge out.
The strongest poison ever known
Came from Caesar's laurel crown.
Nought can deform the human race
Like to the armour's iron brace.
When gold and gems adorn the plow,
To peaceful arts shall envy bow.
A riddle, or the cricket's cry,
Is to doubt a fit reply.
The emmet's inch and eagle's mile
Make lame philosophy to smile.
He who doubts from what he sees
Will ne'er believe, do what you please.
If the sun and moon should doubt,
They'd immediately go out.
To be in a passion you good may do,
But no good if a passion is in you.
The whore and gambler, by the state
Licensed, build that nation's fate.
The harlot's cry from street to street
Shall weave old England's winding-sheet.
The winner's shout, the loser's curse,
Dance before dead England's hearse.
Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born,
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to endless night.
We are led to believe a lie
When we see not thro' the eye,
Which was born in a night to perish in a night,
When the soul slept in beams of light.
God appears, and God is light,
To those poor souls who dwell in night;
But does a human form display
To those who dwell in realms of day."
---William Blake

WHAT IS THAT?? BOILING SKY ARTIFICIAL CLOUDS

It's a bird . . . it's a plane . . . it's . . . CHEM TRAILS ? ? ? YES, and it's been going on for over a decade. The United States government has been running dozens of individual "tests" on the American public adding chemicals to our atmosphere. The government of course is hush hush or they say it's to control the weather. However, any weather broadcaster who mentions the truth has been removed from their jobs. An alarming increase in these tests is provoking more interest and concern from the American public who are looking toward the sky and looking for answers. Only God can make beautiful clouds of nurturing, pure water molecules. Only mankind can destroy all the gifts we've been given.
