pet art: July 2010 Archives
Heather's a Long Beach resident and a friend via mutual church circles & (of course, this being 2010 and all) through Facebook.
But she's also quite the accomplished artist who majors in animals and nature -- including paintings of dogs, necklaces featuring dogs. She especially loves doing commissioned or custom work.
So if you're looking to dangle your dog's likeness around your neck -- or frame your pooch for the living room (remember, Christmas is right around the corner) -- Heather's your gal.
You can find her works online. (You can also find Heather on Etsy.) Here are some samples:
This one is titled "Boston Terrier." It's 16x20 acrylic on stretched canvas. It sells for $225.
Heather's own dog, Margot, a bull terrier, has also been immortalized in an 8x10 and sells for $65:
This one's already been sold:
And the necklaces:
About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
