Painting with a Twist

Scott and I have been to Painting with a Twist several times together and once with the kids. I’ve even gone with a friend as well. Today, I went by myself. It was a benefit event for the Black Forest Animal Sanctuary. It was also a ‘Paint your own Pet’ session, where you submit an animal photo and they prep the canvas for you to do the painting. They create an outline and give you some guidance, but otherwise, it is all up to you. I chose to do my mother-in-law’s dog as a birthday gift to her. Her birthday was last month and I told her that I planned on doing this, so she was getting her gift late.

A little darker than what she’s supposed to be, but getting there.

Finally, it is done! I wish I could have spent more time on the background, but otherwise, it
