DeeDee\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Murry loves her longhaired dachshund, Hallie.\u00a0 She found Hallie at an animal rescue in 2001.\u00a0 You can say it was love at first sight.\u00a0 DeeDee took her home and never looked back.
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

DeeDee Murry<\/a>, a Seattle native, is a professional painter who creates beautiful realistic animal portraits.\u00a0 Hallie always watches as DeeDee paints, often draping herself over DeeDee’s shoulder watching intently as works of art are created.\u00a0 DeeDee decided one day to see if her dachshund would like to try painting and it turns out she loved it!\u00a0 As DeeDee states on Hallie’s website, hallieart.com<\/a>, “Within a few days she was picking the brush up out of the paint cup, going over to the paper and making strokes and dabs. She would never want to stop, if I set the brush down and told her how good she was and it was time to stop, she would quickly grab the brush back and start painting again.”
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then in 2010, Hallie went blind literally overnight from SARD (Sudden Acquired Retinal Degeneration<\/a>).\u00a0 DeeDee was devastated, but wouldn’t give up on her beloved dog.\u00a0 She padded all of the walls to make it safer for her blind dachshund and Hallie decided that she’d get right back on her paws again!\u00a0 Hallie found her way around very quickly and she even learned to paint again!\u00a0 DeeDee said, “She amazed me on the first try, by reaching out and picking the brush up out of the paint cup just like she used to, as if she could see it. The only thing I had to do was tap the paper so she knew where to paint, but I’m having to do even that less and less now. She again will grab the brush when I tell her how wonderful she is but it’s time to stop, and start painting on her own, she doesn’t want to quit.”
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All of Hallie’s paintings are put up for sale on her website, <\/span><\/span><\/span>hallieart.com<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span>.\u00a0 All paintings come with Hallie’s signature – an imprint of her nose :).\u00a0 The best part is that all proceeds go to the Purple Heart Rescue<\/a>, a dog charity in Washington State!
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Keep up the good work Hallie!
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Peace & Love,
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
