latest Greyhound graphite drawing by Sheona Hamilton-grant.


Here is Robert a gorgeous  bright-eyed and alert Geyhound.

This is my first of my graphite portraits (I'm planning on three) for the CAG's next online show : Helping Paws 2008 Exhibition.  

The idea behind the show is to have each artist pledge a percentage of their sales in support of an animal welfare effort.

My help and support is going to the Dumfriesshire and Cumbria Greyhound Rescue.

I have fallen for these gorgeous, gentle and loyal canines and have chosen to donate 20% from my sale of this piece to this specific Greyhound Rescue.  Dumfriesshire and Cumbria Rescue is the only greyhound re-homing in the Dumfries & Galloway and Cumbria region. They are a young dynamic charity and have found homes for over 450 greyhounds in 6 years.

"Helping Paws 2008" goes on line on October the 1st 2008 for 4 months.

Thank you for looking.  

Many Cheers , Sheona
