Thanks Maureen Shelleau

[John]

A few months ago Maureen Shelleau, an accomplished artist who specializes in horses and dogs, offered OFC members a cut price on a pastel portrait of their beloved equine and canine friends. Maureen had previously posted a request for some help, guidance and input from OFC and its members and in addition to her artistry runs a business along with Phil (Harrison), "off the dock" (t-shirts etc..). This offer was basically a thank you for the help that she received and also as a thanks for those who have supported the off the dock brand.

 

You will see her offer under the members business section. Her OFC name is Lake Ranger.

 

In short, I took Maureen up on her offer and was absolutely overwhelmed at her talent and her ability to capture likenesses of an animal that I have only seen perhaps once or twice before.

 

I will let the art work speak for itself............

He was a special boy Phil. Was really tough when we lost him late last year. His buddy Chloe still misses him.
