MORE ABOUT THE ART
The painting is an original oil on canvas 30" by 40", donated by artist, Denise Saleh, as this year's Angel Raffle. It is a full color Greyhound standing in the surf, in a rectangular area, surrounded by heavy texture featuring hints of beach objects found in the texture. Denise was inspired by a recent trip to the coast with her Greyhound and this poem just completed her idea.
This contented Greyhound basks in the setting sun on the Texas Gulf coast. As the poem suggests, we give our Greyhounds a home, "One Starfish at a Time".
**** THE STARFISH POEM ****
Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean o do his writing.
He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.
One day he was walking along the shore.
As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer.
He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day.
So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing,
but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something
and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?"
The young man paused, looked up and replied, "Throwing starfish in the ocean."
"I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?"
"The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die."
"But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it.
You can't possibly make a difference!" The young man listened politely.
Then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said-
"It made a difference for that one."

The reproduction print is finished by the artist applying a hand embellishment with gold leaf. The image size is 24x24" and it is done on archival quality paper.
