The smell of Freedom

This handsome 5-year old boy is Hector. After being rescued from the Michael Vick property, he was adopted into a loving home. He has proven to be sweet natured and quite a snuggler. In fact, Hector is now a certified therapy dog! A special thanks to JGrenell for letting me use his photo as an inspiration for this painting. Painting will be auctioned off at the 11th annual That's Amore dinner/Auction October 16th 2010. Benefiting both the Tri-Valley Animal Rescue Org (Pleasanton, California) and BAD RAP in SFO Size: 8x10 inches Acrylic on wrapped canvas
