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.
 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. |  Next up is BauersMom's Princess. |
 fsugrad's Toby slipped in second! |  Then JackieDog's Jackie popped up! |
 AliWest's brilliant Mensa followed up. |  TinyMityMo's Bailey snuggles with her bunny and her red heart pillow. |
 Hannahmom's Chingis was ceded this spot by a friend. |  McSheltie gave this portrait of Witty to her husband for Christmas. |
 Jackandgrey's Jack slips into the penultimate slot on Round #1! |  vahoundlover's Mack proudly brings up the end of this pack. |
 RobinW's quirky brood mom Treasure is first in line for Round 2. I can't help it! This one just cracks me up! |  RedFawnMom's Lucy, contemplative. |
