I received an email that went like this:

"Dear Louise,
Congratulations! Your painting, "Into The Light", was an award winner in the November 2025 BoldBrush Painting competition.
"Into The Light" was awarded the honor 3rd Place - Abstract by Thomas W. Schaller (award-winning artist, architect, and author based in New York City)."
.
My description of the painting is below:

This reminds me of a brindle Galgo Espanol I once knew...

Emerging from a dark place where their beauty, sensitivity, elegance, faithfulness, loyalty was never appreciated. To step into the light, into their forever sweet life, where they will be appreciated, loved and live happily ever after.

I always like contrast and the thick black paint was perfect for depicting the idea of rescue dogs who come from a dark place and find their forever homes, (more photographs of the painting below).
