John Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 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............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was really tough when we lost him late last year. His buddy Chloe still misses him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
