Last month I had a private painting lesson with Sam.  She painted her aunt and uncle’s cabin for them as a surprise Christmas gift.

Her grandmother, Barbara, arranged it all.  I got a message yesterday that they got the gift and LOVED it.  What’s not to love about that kind of thoughtful gift.  And Sam did a SUPER job.  What a sweet girl!!!

It’s not too late to give your own gift of art.  Book a private lesson and paint a gift for someone you love.  Or buy a gift certificate for someone to have something they choose painted like their home or a pet portrait.  Or how about a gift certificate for art classes?  Lots of ideas for gifts of art.  Contact kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com for more information.
