By popular demand, Melasdesign now offers custom pet portraits in oil pastels on paper in a free and easy style. 50% of proceeds will benefit Animal Friends of Doggy Sods in Davis, WV.
This service grew out of Doggy Sods’ “Silly Pet Portrait” fundraiser. My portraits are not *quite* so silly, but are still an artsy, fun way to benefit their great cause.
