Grey Matter

Create for a Cure Quilt

Portrait Marathon
Portrait Marathons
This Portrait Marathon's sign-up appeared on Greytalk, a greyhound owners' forum, Nov. 10, 2009.  

The Deal:
For the first 10 people to post a useable (clear) picture of a single pet (any species), I would paint a portrait, in acrylic, on a 5"x5" deep-sided canvas (suitable for hanging without framing), for $50.  What a deal!  ;)  I ended up doing a couple more as Round #2.
Tippy
As a sample of the style I intended to use, I painted one of Alisha's Tippy, which I gave to her for a birthday present.
