Acrylic on Canvas 9″x12″
Description: This is a portrait of Scrappy, a dog volunteer with Paws & Hearts. Through Paws & Hearts, dogs like Scrappy, with their human companions, visit people in hospitals, rest homes and other facilities. Scrappy and Don provide a welcome distraction and comfort for patients awaiting radiation therapy at a local cancer center.
Last December, I donated a gift certificate good for one pet portrait, for Paws & Hearts annual dog walk fundraiser, and Scrappy was the lucky winner. I visited with Scrappy, and Don West, took a ton of photo’s, and the result is the painting above.
Provenance: 2011 Collection of the West family
