Dog Artist Vanda Lavar / Vandeleur Leigh


Dog Art is a spiritual experience for me. The love which dogs supply to our world is celebrated in my work. The mystical bond between a dog and their persons' is to my mind one of the greatest gifts of our human experience.
I will be sharing various paintings and illustrations as I complete them. Currently, I am finishing my book featuring the spirituality of dogs captured through art.
I am also finishing a wonderful book, which is endorsed by Florence Henderson of "The Brady Bunch" fame. The book is entitled, "Tucker's Tale" and is published by Guardian Angel Publishing and written by Christopher Walsh. I will be giving sneak previews to some of the illustrations contained within.
Also, I will be previewing work from the wonderful author, Anna C Morrison. Her newest book, "Silly Moments" is also currently on my easel. This book features the wonderful tale of a cat named, Silly.
Now, I would like to share the first illustration from my own book, which will hopefully be out before I am a featured artist at "The West Minster Kennel Show" in New York, February of 2009.
In my next blog you may find some links to both my art and illustration sites. Please know that you may find examples of my work on products in Target Stores.
Godspeed,
Vanda
