This has been a GREAT project.  In June of 2017 the owner of ‘Natural Pet Essentials’ in Charlottesville, Virginia asked if I would be interest in helping her with an event at her store.

We didn’t know how many dogs to expect, but I was non-stop busy from before 10am until about 1pm. We got some great dog print artwork. I had the backgrounds prepared before arriving and dog owners picked out their board and chose the colors they wanted as well as the preferred bug embellishment.

Desiree’s Paw Print Painting

 

I’m so glad I had the opportunity to try the concept out ahead of time on my Yorkshire Terrier, Desiree. Little did I know she would no longer be with me after July.

This is only a little off topic, but it was the Wine and Design class at Pet Essentials  where I painted Desiree and met Kim, the owner of Pet Essentials.

This is my little Desiree – She’s so beautiful!

The Paw Print Project was so much fun and so successful that I took it on the road and was able to arrange another workshop in late August on National Dog Day at The Arts Center in Orange
