Furthermore, the games these dogs participate in as main players include shows and races, activities that may involve victimization and gambling. I think that these subtle reminders of the dark side of pet industry may invoke remote but nagging feelings of a possibility of abuse' appear to reference racing Greyhounds, and very appropriately so, but it appears that only the first painting is a full-sized Greyhound. The last two appear to be Italian Greyhounds which are not used for racing, and are an entirely different breed.

Three woman artists on the move with bright futures. Brilliant work relating imagery with some very ''a propos'' analysis on your part. It is quite apparent that you have the required eye and comprehension to write critical essays that could also include art books and openings for major exhibitions in galleries or museums. You love art and it is reflected in your words. All the best to you Elijah I really enjoyed reading your critics on the three artists I had nominated, re: Heather Horton, Andrea Kowch & Sandra Flood.
