I was contacted a few months back on dogster from someone that thought the picture I had of Gracie was beautiful and she wanted to have a painting done of her. She asked for permission and I agreed.
This past week, the painting was completed and much to my surprise, they had also painted a picture of London. These paintings were listed on eBay (which I knew they had an ebay store).
I have been watching these items all week because I was going to bid on them...after all, they are MY yorkies.
I look this morning and am completely shocked! The painting of Gracie is already up to $107. Why would someone bid on someone else's dogs? That's like having a painting of your child and someone else bidding on it. Some complete stranger is going to have MY Gracie's picture up in their home/office.
If they wanted a painting of a dog, why not contact the artists and have them do a portrait of THEIR OWN dog?
Now, I'm not going to be able to get MY pictures because the price is going to be too high and I cannot afford it.
