This is Baxter; an adorable Shih Tzu that belongs to KathiGanong. Kathi, a very talented pet
portrait artist, said this about Baxter, "He found this paint brush and
thought it was the neatest toy/chew stick he had ever found." She decided
to take a picture of him and paint this portrait. I love it! What artist wouldn’t?
I met Kathi in on Facebook. We are both members of Karen
Bonaker's Facebook Digital Art Academy. I have really enjoyed getting to know
Kathi. She is such a kind soul and so generous about helping animal shelters and
rescue groups by offering free portraits they can
use for fund raisers such as raffles.
Some
of the groups that have benefited from Kathi’s generosity are http://www.potomacpekes.org/ and http://www.cairnrescue.com also http://www.floridayorkierescue.com
and http://www.pugdogrescue.com/
as well as http://www.southernstatesrescuedrottweilers.org.
Not only has Kathi been a blessing to them she has been one
for me also. It is rare to find someone who understands you and gives you insight
and support without judgment. She has been a wonderful sounding board and friend! Thank you
for your friendship Kathi.
Check out Kathi’s website and see some more of the wonderful
