Speed Racer

Medium: Acrylics, ink, colored pencil

I have been an artist for many years and love to incorporate humor into my art. I always wanted to teach my dog Birdie (that I painted a realistic portrait of last year for this event) to ride a skateboard but I was not successful in real life. This Speed Racer painting is by by far the best I can do to show you the pleasure and fun of owning a dog. I appreciate the opportunity to help the animals of McHenry County.
