Local artist Rebecca Reeb and the San Diego Humane Society (SDHS) teamed up to make dogs, cats, and people that own them happy, too. Reeb is an acrylic painter who made a business of painting \u201cfur babies,\u201d the animals in people\u2019s lives that feel like their children. She shared those services with SDHS for its annual Fur Ball this month, a dog-friendly, black-tie gala. Both the silent auction and awards featured Reeb\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

Each ball names an Honoree and Pet Star, and for 2018, part of the award was a Reeb painting of the animals \u2014 unbeknownst to the honoree. Pet Star Olive, owned by Michael and Dee Anne Canepa, is now forever depicted on canvas.<\/p>\n

\"Canine<\/a><\/p>\n

Honoree Colleen Blackmore Reilly owns three rescue dogs \u2014 golden retriever Frisco, lab Buddy, and chihuahua Nico. When SDHS members presented Reilly the painting of her dogs, she started to cry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe painting so accurately depicted my boys and their personality that it brought tears to my eyes,\u201d Reilly recalled.<\/p>\n

Reeb was moved too. \u201cIt was so sweet,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

That painting is now in a proud place on Reilly\u2019s mantle. Reeb understands the pride and love for a canine. She is a lover of \u201cany animal, everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s not to love,\u201d Reeb quipped. \u201cAn animal will love you no matter what. They bring so much joy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reeb currently owns two fur babies, a springer spaniel named Julia and a cat named Puddy Tat. Two long-standing pets of hers recently passed away, German shepherd Baron and a Samoyed, Greta. They were more than 13- and 14-years-old, respectively.<\/p>\n

Baron and Greta were stars in Reeb\u2019s first foray into animal painting \u2014 illustrating the dogs for wine labels. Her husband grows grapes and makes his own wine (for family use, not retail). For fun, Reeb designed two different labels, the first featuring Baron as the Pope for \u201cChateau Woof du Paw,\u201d a play on the French wine Chateanuef-du-Pape. The English translation is \u201cthe Pope\u2019s new castle.\u201d<\/p>\n

The label was one of the featured stickers in the 2013 Wine Maker Magazine\u2019s annual label contest.<\/p>\n

Greta and another dog, Sobe, were stars in the second label, \u201cFruit Bomb.\u201d A World War II style-plane drops loads of grapes on the two dogs and a woman with outstretched arms. This time, the label was a Silver Medalist in the Wine Maker Magazine\u2019s contest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reeb grew from painting labels to canvas, and from painting her own dogs to painting for business clients. She noted that no matter how many she completes, each painting is unique.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love that it\u2019s a different subject each time,\u201d Reeb said. \u201cEach animal has a different personality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reeb also donates a percentage of each painting\u2019s proceeds to the animal charity of the client\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my little way of helping,\u201d Reeb said. \u201cI do what good I can.\u201d<\/p>\n
