Helpings Paws – Exhibition now Live

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

How exciting! The Canine Art Guild’s inaugural “Helping Paws 2008 Online Exhibition” is now online!

The original and Limited Edition artwork in the exhibition comes from an international collection of artists who have partnered with local animal shelters and rescues and have pledged a percentage of their sales from this exhibition in support of animal welfare efforts.

In addition, visitors to the online exhibition can vote for their favourite artwork and three People’s Choice honours will be awarded, with cash donations being made to the shelters affiliated with the artworks receiving the most votes for People’s Choice awards

All three pages of artwork can be viewed in the Canine Art Guild’s “Helping Paws 2008″ exhibition which will remain viewable online through to at least January 31, 2009.

As promised, this is the third entry that I have submitted to the exhibition, along with “Noble”, the German Shepherd in charcoal and “Angel in Blue” my American Staffordshire Bull Terrier in oils.

Royalty Greyhound dog painting

"Royalty" original Greyhound dog painting by Michelle Wrighton

This is a small acrylic painting of Gilley, a rescue Greyhound dog from the UK. Greyhounds have the most beautiful, big, liquid, expressive eyes that are an absolute joy to paint. As a breed, Greyhounds have such a regal bearing that the deep purple background seemed appropriate for Gilley’s painting

These smaller paintings are very enjoyable to do, although this one is still quite detailed, I am really trying to loosen up and capture the essence of the animal without being totally pre-occupied with capturing every last detail!

The painting is continued on all four edges and is ready to hang.  “Royalty” is available on merchandise and prints, but this is the first time this original painting from my personal collection has been offered for sale.
