The humane society commercial showing the faces of all the cats and dogs in shelters while playing Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" is the inspiration for this painting...this commercial just breaks my heart and always makes me cry...I try to imagine all the cats and dogs that end up euthanized are accompanied to heaven by some very special angels...there, they are happy, healthy, loved and cherished as they should have been here. I created this piece on an 8x10 inch stretched canvas...staple free sides are painted black so no need to frame! I finished it with an acrylic varnish to protect and enhance the colors. The shadowing in the top right is just from my scanner...it is not in the painting! This is an original Olga painting...not a print!
