    wonderful drawing
    most impressive

  • Julie Marks

    Stunning drawing of an exquisite dog. The expression in the eyes are soulful and the coloring and soft gray background are elegant contrasting colors. I wish those who mistreat, abuse and discard these beautiful animals after using them for racing could see the beauty inside and out of these sentient creatures. However, they are the cruel insensitive people who don’t have a clue about the nobility and beauty of these sensitive animals. We all have to work to preserve and protect Greyhounds to protect them from the ignorance and brutality of those evil people who misuse and destroy these magnificent creatures, Betty Mercey on artwanted and possible redbubble has rescued 12 greyhounds and has a large property in France where they all live harmoniously and sleep in baskets around her bed every night. These stories are so touching and your beautiful artwork is a testament to these special dogs. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

    Thankyou Julie! totally agree….greyhounds just like standardbreds (trotters) are mis understood. My girlfriend has three greyhounds, and they are all the most loving and loyal companion dogs!

    The ‘hound’ family of K9s always seem to have that ‘lookatmearen’t Igorgeous’ look about them. I have a Greyhoung x (Christa) and this reminds me of her. ‘Christa’ thinks she is royalty. I love your work Penny :)
