I was inspired to do this watercolor of a greyhound rescued several years ago from a life on the race track. He found a wonderful home with a friend of mine. Retrained greyhounds make wonderful pets, and though needing exercise daily, can be quite the couch potatoes when indoors.

About AngieDavies

I am a photographer who loves to paint. Or, I am a painter who loves photography? No matter, they are very compatible! :) I really enjoy working in watercolor, and love the magical qualities that it can give to a work of art! You will see photography,watercolor and acrylic paintings on my bubble. Hope you enjoy! :)

    Wow Angie you really have a way with capturing such feeling in the eyes! Awesome work and Im happy he found a loving home!

  • Yes, he found a wonderful home with other dogs in the family also. Thanks goodness there are adoption societies for these wonderful animals to adapt them into a life as pets. It seems to be working well, and I know several people who have adopted. My next dog will be one of these gentle creatures.Thanks for the fave!
