more faces to share.

I am not out there painting on fences. I do hope to find another one day. I have lots of paintings on paper and canvas to share. I work from your favourite photo, and if I can meet you dog or cat this is good too so I can get a feeling for them. Yet you can tell me what is special about your dog or cat so that I can capture it on canvas or paper.

A couple more pictures to share with you. This is Jasper.

I have been organizing and photo ing some of my art work. My art includes scenery and dogs and cats. I have not been paining much these days yet going through my work has inspired me to get productive again.

I have not been doing much painting lately on canvas or on fences. I will again when I find a new fence too. I have however been doing some writing as my other persona K.M Rachel. My book is available for sale via my web site at www.kmrachelhalsey.com or by contacting me. you can also see it on display at the local Pharmacy at the Crest in Burnaby. I will also be appearing at Seasons cafe for book signing and purchase. dates TBA. check with pharmacy or seasons of check here.

Book Launch April 17 2019 from 5 to 730 at the Old Crow Coffee Shop at 655 Front St. in New Westminster BC. Cherry Lane Canines and Cats book is a project of Citizen Canine Companion Society and Margaret Halsey.... 50% of the net proceeds from sales will be donated to BC and Alberta Guide Dogs and Autism Support Dogs. The book is $30.

On Saturday Oct 27 2018 at the BC and Alberta Guide Dogs and Autism Support Dogs (BCAGD & ASD) puppy raising party I gave a cheque for $ 2,500 to bring the donation to the goal of $5,000. from the fence projects. This $5,000 gives me the opportunity to name a puppy after my dad. And a puppy has been named. Little Bertie. (My dad was Herbert (Bert) Joseph Halsey) My dad said I capture the spirit of the dog in their eyes. He was my biggest fan. He will be very happy smiling ...down on me and all of you for helping. I also have a great niece who is on the autism spectrum and the family will be happy that we are supporting this cause. The fence not only helps raise money for puppy sponsorship it also brings more awareness to the importance of BCAGD and ASD and the puppy raising program. The fence also promotes the importance of all dogs in our lives. People love it. Dog people love cats too and cats became included. Because of the fence, I started my own society called Citizen Canine Companion.(CCC) The purpose of this society is to promote the importance of dogs (and cats too) in our lives and for our well being. Love on Paws. My paintings hang in many homes, and make many people happy. I saw a long red fence while walking my dog Smyth in my neigbourhood. And now there are over 100 faces on two long fences in New Westminster, all painted by me, as if they were on canvas hanging in homes. The fences have raised more than $7,800 as of October 28, 2018. 80% of net funds raised is for the BC and Alberta Guide dogs and Autism Support Dogs 20% will help Citizen Canine Companion continue to promote the importance of dogs (and cats) in our society. Thank you to everyone who participated and to everyone that enjoys my fences on their walks. I have more than reached my first goal, and started on the next one. I will continue with more fences and continue to donate to dog and cat related charities and societies. I have a small fence with room for 10 on it ready to start. (Just up from Cherry lane) As some of you know I have also written a book about the first fence. I plan to write another book about the second. Stay tuned for more, including a picture of the puppy named Bertie.

puppies were adopted. good news. both beautiful puppies from Guatemala have now been adopted and have new lovely homes forever in British Columbia. I really enjoyed having them with me. now all I have is the paintings I have done of them.

Her name is Rosa. She was rescued from drowning by two German ladies who were visiting Guatemala. As they were also volunteering at a shelter they took her there. Pina, at the shelter already, was being bullied by some others. They were both rescued and a flight was arranged to Vancouver. They arrived at the airport on August 1. They managed the trip quite well and were really happy to see us. They have been here now 5 days and are having lots of fun in there temporary Ca...nadian home. They are around 4 or 5 months old. Pina is blonde, Rosa has black fur. Rosa is the more reserved one of the two, if one can say that about a puppy rescued from the street in Guatemala. They like to play together as puppies do. Sometimes it is a bit rough, but just like puppies do. Pina is not shy at all. She seems to like to guard the house. She alerts me if there is a sound from outside. I would feel safe from intruders with her around. It would be lovely to see them find a home together as they know each other and love to play; however it will be equally wonderful for them to find their own homes, as puppies I think can adjust to new surroundings very well. All they really need is love and a home. A perfect home would be one with a person or people that love them. It would be wonderful if another young dog was in the home, a playmate, if they are not placed together. If they are the only dog in the home I think they would also do very well, as they both seem so very individual. They will take on their own personalities in their new home. They both need lots of walks or play, and an equal amount of sleep. Each of these dogs or both of them would be very well suited in a home with a safe secure garden, somewhere to play, and someone to walk them. They as puppies of course are high energy. They will be well worth the time, and the love you can give them as your forever friends in their new forever home. Contact me for more information immediately if you are interested in being considered for the forever home for one or both of these dogs. Contact me at [email protected] See more
