We have a bonus give-a-thon prize today from watercolor artist Jobi Harris. Jobi is offering two 8 x 10 custom water color portraits, one for you and one for your favorite charity. This is a great prize for a charity to receive because they could use it to honor a special kitty or volunteer, or they could use it for a fundraiser by offering it as an auction or raffle prize. The retail value is $150, so that could be a very nice fundraiser.
To enter to win, please leave a comment on this post with the name of the charity you would donate the second portrait to. The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve along with all the other give-a-thon winners. Thanks, Jobi!

Wow! This would be perfect for us! We have a very active Bengal kitty who can’t seem to sit still enough for us to take a good photo. A custom portrait would be wonderful. We would like the other one to go to the Toronto Humane Society…www.torontohumanesociety.com Thank you!

What a lovely idea. If I won and Jobi Harris agreed I would donate my portrait-op to our local homeless shelter where I volunteer. If that was a problem i would try really hard to get both my kitties to pose for one picture. The second one would go to:

Stunning! It would be difficult to decide which of my “kids” to select for a portrait but it’s easy to decide on Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary here in Sacramento, CA for the charity!
December 12th, 2010 at 4:53 pm
There are some special cats at http://www.happyendings.us that would look beautiful in a portrait, and of course my cat would be gorgeous!
December 12th, 2010 at 5:00 pm
I’d probably give them both to the Coconino Humane Association (http://www.coconinohumane.org) so that they could do one for the cats and one for the dogs. It would spruce up the place a bit. I got my cat there and my neighbors got there dog there.
December 12th, 2010 at 5:01 pm

I would LOVE to win one of these lovely portraits! I know my Sweet-Pea or Bella, or if possible them together would look great in a portrait like this!! They both have beautiful markings, and their colors would stand out great.
I would pick a charity I regularly donate to, this time I will say PETA. I think they are great at helping animals and being their voice.
