Tarimoor Art is pleased to announce that 10% of all money raised from pet portrait commission work, will be donated to four charities, for any orders received from the 1 October 2011.  Any amount will be split equally between:

Doris Banham Dog Rescue
Equine Market Watch Sanctuaries UK
Labrador Retriever Rescue Southern England
Happy Staffy Rescue

I will try and keep an ongoing tally of funds raised, I don’t think I’ll break any records but every little bit counts for all rescues, particularly the smaller ones at the moment, so fingers crossed it will all help, particularly as folk are now starting to order commissions as Christmas presents.  Many thanks for your custom and help to raise funds.

 

Fingers crossed as I am planning a litter from one of my Labrador bitches, Tau, in the Spring of 2012.  I've been planning this litter for a few years now, and have been in touch with the owners of a dog who matches her pedigree very well.  All pups will be chocolate, please have a look on Tau's page under Tarimoor Labradors for more information.

 

Breaking news! One of my Horsing Around images has made the front cover of a book by the 'Book Collaborative', I'm thrilled to be part of the book, you can read more about it here, many talented artists from around the globe have their work included.  Not only is it brilliant for me, but I hope it will also help raise the profile for Equine Market Watch Sanctuaries UK, a very deserving charity I help fundraise for with the Horsing Around series.  I'm also increasing the number of original work for sale, with a few different pieces in there, keep checking to see whether there's anything you like, prices start from just a few pounds. Some of my work is now part of an exhibition at the Lupton Square Gallery,  in Honley, near Holmfirth, please pop by and have a look, there is a wide range of work produced by some well known and some not so well known artists in all different types of media.  If you want to follow my progress with different commissions just click to follow my blog, here.

Browse Products by Breed/Animal/Title - There are several new notelet designs available, and more in the pipeline, and, to make it easier to browse through the galleries, there is a list of all the titles available, split into different dog breeds and arranged by title where you can click on individual titles to view each card/notelet.  It's still under construction, but I hope to have it finished soon.
