Back in February, I went to a fundraiser at Wine and Design to drink some wine and paint a greyhound. Wine and Greyhounds. Always a good combo. We were given a canvas with the outline of a greyhound.
Three brushes for the acrylic paint we were using.
With wine flowing, I start laying paint to canvas.
With our instructor McClean giving us pointers, we are all having a go at it.
Before I know it, I realize I am painting Stella. Miss you sweet girl.
Once finished with the painting, we put on a border. There even appears to be roaching greyhound painting.
A few more strokes, and a purple collar make Stella complete.
Kris and Trina finish off the wine while displaying their artwork. 
The best part was when McClean presented Joyce with a check for James River Greyhounds. Thanks for putting this together, Joyce. We had a blast. 
What a fab idea. Loving the paintings.
ReplyDeleteWine and Greyhounds and painting - could there be anything better? Love your Stella painting. What a great event and good cause.

That is so awesome! I wish we had something like that around here! Your Stella painting is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see you blogged about this! I didn't realize that Stella's spirit came through you to the painting--that is wonderful. You did a great job on the painting and we'll have to do it again sometime!
ReplyDeleteAw so sweet.... she is still with you ;)
ReplyDeleteYou immortalised Stella beautifully :) Looks like everyone had a great time as well as raised some money. A wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like SO much fun! I would love to do that and paint Girly Girl. You have a talent there.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of this 'paint your own greyhound' fundraiser before. It sounds like a great idea! Even those who feel they are not artistic can fill in an outline and make a background and take something home, while having fun (and wine) in the process.
ReplyDeleteNot surprised you found yourself painting Stella. If I were doing that, I wouldn't be at all surprised if one of my 'bridge' dogs hadn't turned up!
wow how goreous your painting is and looks like you had a fun time too.
