Dog Park I & II

Posted in Dogs, tagged daily painter, Dog Park, Dogs, impressionism, pet portrait, Rescue dogs, Small Town Life, Virginia Artist, watercolor on February 3, 2012| 2 Comments »

Dog Park I & II are two watercolor paintings that I did about 5 years ago as the first fundraiser for the Off-Leash Dog Park. These pieces were raffled and then we made prints to sell all to benefit the park. Prints are still available at Delilah’s with the proceeds benefiting the park fund.

Hard to believe that we’ve been working on building an off-leash park for that long but we have. The good news is that we are working on our final fundraiser. It’s a raffle also. (We’ve come full circle!) We call it the Westminster Dog Show Raffle because we have tied it to the show coming up February 13-14, 2012. If you want to help just buy at ticket for $10. The number on your raffle ticket will be randomly assigned to one of the 185 breeds showing this year at Westminster. If your dog wins, you win $350. You have a 1 in 185 chance to win.

We will be at Petco in Front Royal Saturday beginning at 10:00 to sell tickets. Stop in and get yours. Or stop by Delilah’s. We have tickets there too. Or contact me at kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com and I’ll get a ticket to you. When we finish this fundraiser we’ll be ready to break ground. Can I hear a Halleluiah!!!!!

Tammy’s Otis, acrylic on 12″x12″ canvas. This little beauty is a rescue that belongs to my friends Tammy and Tim. He’s a lucky fellow because I think she treats her babies as good as I do. 🙂
