Race No More - Art Show Entry

Juried Art Shows are always fun but a bit stressful as you can always be denied entry.  This is my entry into a show that is dealing with cultural issues.  As many of you know, greyhounds that race are not always treated well in that culture.  Once their racing days are over, they are thrown away with little regard.  The need to adopt these gentle creatures is great.  They only want love.  These two will race no more (hence the name) and are now pets who are loved.    We will see whether it is chosen or not.  Either way, it makes a statement here.

Tea Time

Great way to start a day!  6 x 12 inches oil on masonite.  www.artannepropst.com
