Call for Photos of Your Dog : My 2009 Faces of Love Project

I am looking to paint all the wonderful rescued and adopted dogs out there: big, small, furry and not so furry. 

To view the latest complete paintings for this project visit my Blog

Please submit your photos for consideration. From the photos I receive, I will paint a selection of portraits. For this project, I will choose either an 8" x 8" size canvas, which will be $150 plus $10.00 shipping or a 10" x 10" size canvas for $185 plus $10 shipping. Please note – there is no obligation to purchase a portrait.

Ten percent of purchases from this year-long project, includes paintings, prints, calendars and books, will be donated to A Place to Bark Animal Rescue, Bernie Berlin's amazing sanctuary in Tennessee. You can find out more at A Place to Bark

From the number of portraits I create, I will select twelve to be featured in my upcoming 2010 calendar.  I'm also creating a compilation book that will feature all the paintings, and will be available for purchase in the Fall of 2009.

Interested in submitting your dog for consideration?  I need at least one good, clear photo of your dog's face.  The clearer the photos, the better the painting.  The best photos are shot without using a flash. I suggest getting up close to your dog on their level, and let their face fill the entire camera frame.

Please include stories about your dog.  His/her background, how you found him/her, why you adopted him/her, his/her personality likes dislikes. etc., - anything you want to share with me.  I love hearing all dog stories!  I will incorporate parts of your stories in the book along with the painting.

How it works: I will let you know when I receive your photo and stories, and I will email you, when I start the painting.  I will also post photos on my blog and twitterfeed. You can follow me on twitter, my twitter name is noisydogstudio.  It will be fun for you to see the painting come to life.

The finished painting will be posted on my blog and be available for purchase.  You will have first choice to buy the painting, but if you are not interested, the painting will go up for sale to the general public.  Prints will also be available for purchase.

Ten percent of purchases from this year-long project, includes paintings, prints, calendars and books, will be donated to A Place to Bark Animal Rescue, Bernie Berlin's amazing sanctuary in Tennessee.  You can find out more at A Place to Bark

Please email photos, stories and any questions to: LEIGHJACKS@GMAIL.COM

Please forward to all your dog- loving family, friends and rescue groups!

Can't wait to see all your dogs!
