Hi My daughter Rosie who is only 9 years old has painted a Watercolour & Ink picture of Maverick who is sadly still a homeless hound.
Though I say so myself I think her effort is exceptional (though I am bias) well done Rosie.
Rosie has asked me to put this up on ebay to raise funds for GAL. So please get bidding. The final price (less ebay fees) will be given to GAL. We will NOT profit from the sale of this picture.
Last year Rosie came along to an Art Group in Linlithgow with me and has produced quite a few good pieces of work. I was totally blown away by her attempt at painting Maverick.... I'm currently painting one of Mav but a fuller picture I'd better watch out her skills at painting are rapidly catching up with mine.
What a great painting! Vey talented. My bid has begun!
As someone who looks for greyhound items on ebay I would suggest you put the word greyhound in the title so it will come up in a search for greyhound items. It is hard to find as it is. This would increase the chances of more greyhound lovers finding it and bidding

Sorry you got to the listing with all your great bids and now I can't edit the title. Nevermind... next time !
Thanks for starting the bidding. The picture looks far better in the flesh so too speak the photograph doesn't do it justice.
Well done Rosie, the painting is fantastic what a very talented young lady you are. I very much hope you can get a greyt amount for the Kennel Fund. Keep up the greyt art work you could go far with such a talent. Nora

Bidding is going well 24hrs or so into the launch of the auction and is currently standing at £27 far exceeding what I thought we might raise. But now the world is our limit.
Well I don't know IF the picture will reach £100 but we can always hope and there is a huge incentive of a £45 frame to be added if it does. Thanks to you all so far who have bidded on this item. It would be nice to raise so much money for GAL. Certainly £100 would buy a few bricks for the kennel fund.
Thanks for bidding and keep your fingers X'd for a good result.
Excellent picture. I'll put the word out at some of the non greyhound (but still full of animal lovers) sites I belong to. See if we can get that bidding higher still :)
Just letting you know that Rosie's picture is currently standing at £29 and is due to finish tomorrow.
Don't forget IF you want a one-off watercolour picture (which looks far better than the picture on ebay) - You need to bid on it. If it gets to £100 then you get a free frame worth at least £45. Also whatever it sells for is going to GAL !! (less ebay fees only - no profits to me or Rosie).
congratulations to the highest bidder but an extra special thank you to Rosie for doing her brilliant watercolour of Maverick, she's a very clever girl!
