"Honor and Devotion" by Bev Koldon, Arizona Artist


16x20 oil on canvas
Not for Sale

Big news!!! I won Best in Show with this painting at the Gilbert AZ Constitution Celebration. I wanted to show the emotional relationship between soldier and dog. I was given permission to use a photograph on Kevin Hanrahan's web site. Please visit his site and read about these amazing teams. He gives updates on deployed teams and their experiences. I don't think most of us understand the trust that has develop between these heroic partners.

The Best in Show prize was $250. I am donating 100% to US War Dog Assoc. If anyone would like a print of this painting or the original,  please let me know. Also, 100% of the sales of prints or the original will go to the same organization. Not sure of the print prices yet. Will keep you informed.

I entered this same painting in the Gilbert Visual Art League February 2014 Show.  I won the People's Choice Award.  I am thrilled with the response.
