Ch Blackslate’s Boston Brahmin

Den — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 10:59:14 +0000

This is a 20×16 inch painting on board of the famous and handsome dog Brahmin, standing in front of the Boston Lighthouse.

This is a very special painting. It’s going to be auctioned at the American Bullmastiff Association Art Auction, in Boston, on the 24th of September. The proceeds will go to the ABA to help with the work they do with bullmastiffs. All animals charities are struggling in these difficult times, so I hope this painting will help raise much needed funds for ABA and bullmastiffs.

I have a new print, High Speed Gardening. This is Mabel, a young Springer Spaniel, running around the garden with half a tree in her mouth! It certainly didn’t slow her down any! She was having a wonderful time on a sunny day.

The original painting was an acrylic painting on canvas board and it’s sold.
