Pawtraits. Artist celebrity sale for dogs home.

A YOUNG artist with a penchant for pooches has produced a collection of portraits of dogs of the rich and famous, which will be sold for charity on Sunday.
Cindy Lass, from St John’s Wood, has spent the past 10 months immortalising on canvas the pets of celebrities including Elton John, George Michael, Geri Halliwell and Uri Geller.
The 22 paintings will go on sale for £2,500 apiece at her exhibition of “Celebrity Pawtraits,” in aid of Battersea Dogs Home.
Ms Lass hit upon the idea in September, after reading about the large number of animals being accommodated at the home.
“Up against time,” the portraits were created from photographs supplied by the stars.
Nevertheless, she did get to meet the long-haired chihuahua of Normandie Keith, who the artistclaimes bears an uncanny likeness to its blond owner . ” An immaculate yellow shih-tzu it has a placeto stay in the country,” Ms Lass remarked.
The “30-ish” artist said that one of her favourite exhibits featured Uri Geller’s three dogs – Jon Jon, Chico and Medina. “People say the painting is the best one and that they are curiously drawn to it,” she told the JC. A possible incentive for the purchaser of this portrait is an invitation to tea at chez Geller.
On a personal note, Ms Lass is dedicating the exhibition to her late Yorkshire terrier, Cookie. “She was minute, the sise of my handbag. I used to take her everywhere and have never got over her death.”
Though the proceeds are going towards the Battersea home’s expanding cattery, the artist stressed: “Dogs are very special, spiritual creatures and should be looked after.”
The St John’s Wood Synagogue member believed that her Jewish identity had strongly influenced her work, explaining: “I love the traditions and the spirituality of Judaism, and I feel that if you have something which could help other people, you should share it.
“But I am no goody-two-shoes, and I enjoy life to the full.”

Sold A Dud !

BULLDOG Dudley, who went missing for
23 days, is back with his delig~ited owner
– thanks to the South London Press.
The nine-month-old puppy was stolen from owner Philip D’Ulisse’s garden on the last day of May.
MrD’Ulisse, 30, turned to the SLP in abidto track down his beloved dog. He also contacted TV psychic Un Geller who urged our readers to send out positive vibes to get Dudley back
And just as Mr D’Ulisse was about to give up hope Dudley turned up.
A man known only as Dave from Sevenoaks, inKent returned Dudley on Saterday after buying him
from some travellers in Streatham.

He had paid £300 but became suspicious whe there were no papers for the pedigree pup.
A friend of his showed Dave the SLPs article an he also saw some of the posters Mr D’Ulisse ha put up.
Mr D’Ulisse, of Battersea Park Road. said: “Im over the moon, I was begjnning to think I woul never get him back
“If it wasn’t for the piece in the paper, he may never have been returned and you never know maybe Uri Geller had an effect too.”
Mr D’Ulisse gave the mystery man £450 as a reward.
