The Dog Park

Posted in Small Town Life, tagged , , , on April 22, 2011| Leave a Comment »

  Yesterday, Kym and I appeared on Warren County Today radio show with Mario Retrosi.  We talked about the Art Residency project with the 4th graders, the “Bark for the Park” Art Show and Sale at the Community Center, and the upcoming art shows at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. 

Well, radio really works!  One  of the things I said while talking about the dog park was that if everyone who has a dog or loves dogs would just donate $20 or $25 then we would have the money we need to begin building the park.  When we came out of the studio 30 minutes later there was a wonderful lady waiting to meet me.  She heard us talking on the radio and wanted to bring a check by to donate to the park project.  You can hear us on Valley Today by clicking this link and then clicking on the Thursday, April 21 date.  http://www.theriver953online.com/page.php?page_id=41558

Just One More Day….

Just one more day to the Opening Reception of the “Bark for the Park” Art Show & Sale to benefit the Off-Leash Dog Park. 

Several really good pieces of news have come my way this past week.  First, Hickory, the Scottish Deerhound who won the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show this year will be in attendance as our guest of honor.  She believes in the off-leash park!  🙂

This is a painting that I did of Hickory this weekend.  I thought she should have her portrait included among the other 46 dogs on display for the show. 

The reception is from 5 – 7 p.m. at the Warren County Community Center.  Please come out and invite all your friends to see the plans for the new dog park.

The second piece of good news is that several paintings have already sold!!!  Yeah!  The proceeds from sales at this show go to the dog park.  Thanks to everyone who has already made a purchase to support the park.  Of course, you can make a donation to the park without buying a painting.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Dog Park

Very soon I will be asking for you all to help us as we move into the final phase of the dog park project.  We need to raise money!  Surprise, surprise.  The good news is that everything is in place and we should have a park by the end of the year. 

This watercolor painting is one I did several years ago when we kicked off the Dog Park project.  I will be painting more dogs shortly for a show that will feature dogs and help draw attention to the project.  Please stay tuned and if you can help we would really appreciate it.
