"Snaps I" and "Snaps II," each 5" x 5", depicting a small stack of Alpha Snaps dog treats, done in acrylics on museum quality panel, for sale via Facebook auction.
All the rules are spelled out clearly on my Facebook page - and just FYI, bids are only accepted via Facebook comments. I regret that it's not possible for me to manage bids via email and FB both.

Thanks so much for following along with my artwork!

They suggested key plot/conceptual changes that made it oodles better. Designer Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson worked her magic, pairing the images with perfectly color...
