The LLANO ESTACADO ART ASSOCIATION 2010 FALL OPEN ART SHOW

 

 

RUBY'S RIBBON

 

I had  just joined this association and  I was told it was one of the  oldest, most respected art associations in the state of New Mexico. This show was judged by LARRY WILCOX and there were ribbons and cash awards given.  I told my husband Greg that I wanted to go even though I didn't expect to even receive an honorary mention, I fully expected the states best art to be there and I was eager to see it. I was right, the works were wonderful. 

 When we got there I noticed right away where my paintings were, on opposite sides of the room, and we started making the rounds a piece at a time.  Well, inevitably, I start chatting up some one and Greg and I get separated.  Next thing I know, my laid back husband is dragging me across the room saying "look".  It was RUBY, she's such a popular girl, she had taken the third place ribbon for Acrylics and Oils!!! For the first time in my life, I couldn't say a thing.  Finally, excitement set in and I went out to call my sister, promptly dropped the phone on the cement and shattered the face of my I Phone. 

 It was OK though, nothing could squelch my joy.

These next two are of the same painting with a close up of Tommy the King Charles. Debora, Tommy's mommy commissioned this painting a couple of weeks ago and just was crazy about the way it turned out. Deborah is from the south east and of course I am in New Mexico so I didn't think I would get a chance to deliver the painting my self. But, as it happens, Deborah was here again two weeks later and I got to see her face as I unveiled the work, It is almost the best part of painting.

My Sassy Girl   1993-2010

 

 

 
  
Sassy
 
I got sassy on my honeymoon. Everywhere I went there was sassy.
She was sooo tiny, she fit in the front opening of m
y coat.
I was a newlywed and sassy was always there,
when friends and family were far from m
e, she was there.
when I was lost, there she was, when I was lonely, she was there.
We got Sassy a sister and brother, I'm not sure she appreciated it,
but she kept them in line. For almost 17 years, sassy was my constant companion,
 now, she is not there...

Jake -12 X 12 watercolor on stretched watercolor canvas

lorimrowe@gmail.com

 

     This is Jake. Jake had a terrible start in life, he was what we call a chain rescue case. He spent his life on a short chain by himself in the yard until someone reported him. His original owner definitely feed him, but because he was always chained, he was VERY over weight and had little if any muscle tone. Jake was rescued by Peggie 5 years ago and his rehabilitation was swift. He was so week when Peggie adopted him, he could hardly get in the house, but,daily walks and the occasional visits with other doggy friends soon rehabilitated Jake and he got along very well. Daily brushing, and love brought out his sweet disposition. He was a HUGE wolf hound mix, but he was a gentle giant. I met Jake on a job in NJ. Of course I knew his mommy, Peggie, first. I would see her everyday around 3pm running the dogs, shadow,Patches and GG{good girl], in the field across from my house. Beau, my Aussie, would bark and generally make a raucous until one day I marched out side, introduced myself, and asked if Peggie would mind if my dogs came out to play with hers. This soon became a neighborhood event. Patches and Shadow moved on to wait for us all with tails wagging in doggy heaven, and Jake was adopted. I'll never forget the morning Peggie came home from 3rd shift to discover her house had been over run with fathers. She opened the door and ppooofff, feathers. It seems Jake was afraid of thunder. He tried to get on the bed to hide and he tried and tried tearing up Peggie's feather bed in the proses. It took forever to clean up those feathers.

 
 
Jake died 2/16/10 of bone cancer. This painting is done with love for Peggie. We will see you someday Jake "with tails wagging".

When I first went to little shelter I met Ingrid. I just couldn't forget her. So, I thought maybe if I paint her and offer the painting for free with the adoption people will take more time to notice her. She is sooo lovable and sweet, I really wanted to take her home myself. This is her story;

 

          When Ingrid came to Little Shelter, she was in very bad condition - in fact she was dying. Ingrid had spent the first years of her life chained to a fence. While on that chain, Ingrid gave birth to litter after litter of puppies and didn't know the joy of human love. When she arrived on our doorstep her body was emaciated and her abdomen was extremely distended. Tests revealed that Ingrid had late stage heartworm and her heart muscle was severely damaged. Ingrid was near death for quite a while and we weren't sure she was going to make it, but after having 14lbs of fluid drained from her chest cavity, lots of TLC, and expert vet care, Ingrid pulled through. To ensure that Ingrid's heart continued to serve her well, Ingrid needed to be placed on life-long medication and the vet responsible for saving her life recommended Viagra! Viagra was originally developed as a heart medication, and for Ingrid it has truly been a life-saver! Now, more than one year later, Ingrid is feeling much better. Her medications and special dietary requirements have proven to be costly, but we will continue to provide her with all of her medical needs. Please help us continue to provide for Ingrid and others like her, while they await new, loving homes, by making a donation to help with their care.
