The Okey’s October daily artwork promotion to raise money for my latest Okey’s Promise: Celebrating the Human – Animal Bond project is complete, however, there are still some auctions running. Yesterday’s auction will be active until tonight (11/1/11) at 10pm ET, and I have reopened bids until Wednesday, Wed. 11/2/11 at 10pm ET on the few artworks that did not receive bids by the deadline. Those include works from the following dates: 10/28/11, 10/27/11, 10/25/11, and 10/11/11.

Don’t forget, everyone who bids on one of the Okey’s October artworks here on the blog (during the announced bidding time frames) will be entered into a contest for a free artwork! You don’t have to win a bid, just make a bid. All bidders will be entered into a random drawing for a special artwork, which will be selected and announced the day after the end of all auctions.

Thanks for following and bidding on the auctions! And thanks to you, we have raised over $2,000 for Okey’s Promise! Remember, you can donate to the project without participating in an auction by using the ChipIn widget in the right sidebar.

Okey's October: Green Dog

See all the “Okey’ October” artworks!

"Green Dog" Painting on Wood by BZTAT

“No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does.” ~ Christopher Morley

Today’s artwork is a painting of a dog whose color is a bit fanciful. As perhaps the conversation that you share with your dog may be…

In honor of my cat Okey whose “Gotcha Day” is October 30, I am making an artwork every day in October, and posting it here on my blog. As I have done with “drawing a day” activities in the past, each artwork will be available for bidding in an auction in the blog post dedicated to it.

Along with each artwork will be a “Thought for the Day” that will offer some kind of encouragement about overcoming challenges.

Okey has inspired a worldwide movement to bring awareness to the links between animal abuse, child abuse and domestic violence called: Okey’s Promise: Art for a Cause. All of the proceeds for the auctions will go towards the Okey’s Promise: Celebrating the Human – Animal Bond project, which is my second Okey’s Promise public art project.

My recent Kickstarter fund raising campaign for the project fell short of its goal, so I have had to start over with the fund raising. You can contribute here if you would like to support the project outside of the auctions.

To make it a little more fun, I am going to have a special contest! Everyone who bids on one of the Okey’s October artworks here on the blog will be entered into a contest for a free artwork! You don’t have to win a bid, just make a bid. All bidders will be entered into a random drawing for a special artwork at the end of the month.

“A dog is one of the few remaining reasons why some people can be persuaded to go for a walk.” ~ O.A. Battista

There’s nothing like the smiles and the wags of a dog anticipating the company oh it’s human on a walk!
