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.

Shelter Dogs Rule!

Back in November, my husband and I rescued Archie, an English Setter, who had spent his life tied to a tree before the owners took him to a shelter. When he came to us, he was a bit nervous but very sweet from day #1. Now he spends his days chasing squirrels and birds with our other setter Samantha. He has his own place on the sofa and eats the best Petsmart has to offer.
His eyes melt you and he is so appreciative for his new home. If you ever decide you want a dog, please consider the shelter dogs who will always appreciate your love. These pastel portraits are of Archie and NFS.
