Yesterday afternoon we had another “Paint Your Pet’s Portrait” Party at the Blue Ridge Arts Council and the painters made wonderful renditions of their pets! Just take a look. And a couple of these folks have never painted before. Can you believe it???!!!
After class I got to play with a couple of the “subjects” and they posed with their portraits. Could they be any cuter? This is Ashton and Sophie.
When are you going to join us? The next “Paint Your Pet’s Portrait” Party is scheduled for February 15th at 3 p.m. Be sure to contact me and sign up early and the class fills fast. See you then.

Yesterday afternoon we had the Kid’s “Paint Your Own Pet Portrait” Workshop. It was so much fun!!!! The kids did superb work on their portraits. We had dogs, cats, and horses. They were all so different and all so good! Great job young artists. I love seeing the enthusiasm of young painters creating beautiful art.
Many thanks to my good friend and great painter, Linda, who helped with this large group. Couldn’t have done it without your help.
We have an adult workshop today from 4-7. Let me know if you want to come join us.

A few weeks ago I got a request to paint a pet portrait on an outdoor sign. I don’t generally paint signs but this one was special so I accepted the challenge. I completed it and delivered it last week and the client was thrilled. Pet Portraits are one of my favorite things to do. Smith was a fun one! I love the expression on his face.

One of the things I love about Facebook is all the terrific photos that my friends post…especially those of their pets. And I am lucky that my friends are kind enough to give me permission to paint from their photos when I ask. That happened this week with my friend Sonja and her new kitten Kloe. She posted this adorable photo of Kloe looking out the window and the kids class painted her yesterday. GREAT job everyone! I love it.
