I recently was able to participate in a Bottle and Botega fundraiser to benefit the Allen County SPCA called Paint your Pet.
If you ever get the opportunity to do one of these, I highly recommend it. I debated on which dog or cat to paint and even considered a shelter dog but I somehow decided that cats would be easier to paint than dogs, so after some consideration, I chose to paint our recently departed Boo Kitty.
I stared at the blank canvas for what felt like eons, took a deep breath, and dove in. I’m certainly no artist, but I’d be lying if I didn’t confess to being pleased with the result which is meant to be a combination of the photo at the bottom and another photo I have of her in a tree.
I may even decide to display it somewhere in the house…in a very low traffic spot.
Looks great – much better than what I could do!! And a great way to rememeber her!
You’d be surprised at how much fun it is.
Its good – way way better than what I could ever draw/paint. I’ve thought about going to one of those wine and draw event (or whatever they are called), but fear so much my huge lack of drawing skills. I am not exaggerating…all I could draw were stick figures (no hair) when I was young, and even those were ugly, LOL!
