Painting 4 Paws Now Offering Collage Paintings

Sunday, November 27, 2005

Karen Derrico, known for producing colorful paintings of rescued dogs, is now offering collage paintings on a commission basis.

Karen donates up to 25% of the proceeds to animal welfare charities.

To make the collage paintings, she works from several different photographs submitted by the client. She combines paint elements that relate to the subject(s) (i.e. a pet's favorite toys, sleeping place, etc.), along with words, colors and textures to create a truly unique and meaningful piece of artwork.

Pictured here is her first collage painting, created as a donation for the Muscular Dystrophy Association annual fundraiser. The boy in the painting is Mattie Stepanek, whose poetry books topped the New York Times Bestsellers list. To see a larger, more detailed version of the painting, click here.

Contact Karen at her website if you'd like to commission a painting from her. Your money will help out a great cause.
