Tamandra + BoriasWhen Tamandra Michaels's 8 year-old German Shepherd, Borias, was diagnosed with bulging discs, she was devastated. Borias is Tamandra's helper dog, her partner, guardian, and constant companion, and now he needs her help. As an artist, Tamandra has a creative approach to life, so she turned to her paints and created the Forever in my Heart Series, a collaboration of her iconic heart designs and Borias's paw dipped in blue.
Forever in my Heart
She brought some samples to Borias's doctors office and orders for more started coming in. Now sales of her series go right on Borias's tab for his treatments. And as more come in, she hopes to be able to contribute to more animals in need through various charities, an excellent pay it forward approach to a crisis.
Here are the details: paintings come in sizes from 12"x12", to 3'X3', and are done with acrylics, finished with a glossy varnish. The colors vary, but are done in shades of green, yellow and red. The paw print is bright true blue. Prices start at $75. Orders are usually finished within a week.
