This Painting, Roses Among the Weeds, is
currently being used by many Animal Shelters across
the country to raise awareness and funds for those Shelters. The
subjects were all Shelter inhabitants. If your shelter is interested
in our program to help in your efforts, please contact us at:
Please put the word Shelter Animals in the subject line. |
| ""Wildlife
has always been my main love, at least in my paintings. The creatures
that I strive to capture in my art are the soul of my creative
existence. Since I first began painting my own dogs, cats and horses,
I knew that animals would be the center of my artistic life.
The animals that I paint are all animals that I love. Some I have raised from babies, some are wild creatures that I was blessed to touch or just admire from a distance. Regardless of where or how I found them, the constant truth of it all is that I have fallen in love repeatedly during my life with dogs, cats, possums, raccoons, horses, giraffes, whatever I was sketching at that time. My life has been filled with wonderful relationships that have lasted from moments to years. I have tried to turn some of the results of my paintings back over to the animals that made it possible with zoo shows and private shows in which I donate up to 50% of my profits to the animal group sponsoring me. If your organization is interested in having a show, please contact me at: barbara@barbarakeel.com |
