My Aunt Ellen treated me to a “Paint Your Pet” class at Art and a Bottle in Lititz, PA.  Part of the proceeds from the class go towards the non-profit, KPETS (a therapy pet organization) she works for.  The class was packed and sold out.

I decided to paint Patrick, my last dog.  Patrick was a field-bred English springer spaniel, and was a great dog.  He was energetic, strong-willed, and tons of fun.  He lived to be twelve.

So, after some careful instruction from the teachers and helpers at the art studio, I started painting.  The process I had to use the paint the picture was different than most, as he was black and white.  Still, I got the idea after a while, and began to layer on colors.

Three hours later, I had the finished product.

Here’s the photo I used for reference.

How do you think I did?
