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.

Hillary, A Greyhound

8 x 8 inch acrylic on masonite (sits perfectly on an easel)

I have always thought the stories of what happen to the beautiful, graceful greyhounds that don't serve the racing world any longer is a disgrace. I do not own a greyhound but I think these gentle creatures are so in need of rescue. I love the shy look on this little girl greyhound's sweet face. If anyone would like to purchase this painting, I will gladly donate the proceeds to the Greyhound Rescue. (Price to Help the Greyhounds - $25.00, and I will ship free of charge to anyone in the US).
