Which collar for Zumaya's Christmas Present?

I've spent the morning looking for a new collar for Zumaya for Christmas. My mission was to find a trendy masculine collar. It's actually a bit harder than I thought to find a neat collar for a boy dog. But I'm down to two and need help deciding! Which should I buy and put under the tree for Zumaya my black lab? Red or blue?

Both collars can be found on Etsy by Chloe's Collars.

I've been joyfully busy with orders for the holidays and wanted to share one of latest portraits. Will post the rest after the new year when I know all have been opened!

A wonderful weekend

I had a great time at the Vinoklet Art & Wine festival! I met SO many people and it was really great weather. I just emailed the lucky winner of the $50 gift card I was giving away! Congratulations to Alicia O'Bryant! Thank you for everyone who entered. Don't forget that if you are planning on ordering a portrait in time for the holidays to get it in early, my list fills up fast!

My beautiful sister Emily and my adorable niece Natalee stopped by to visit my booth too!

My next show, and last show for the year is the Loveland High School Art & Craft Expo on November 5th from 10am to 4pm.

A couple new portraits!

Sweet Toby!

A couple new portraits and upcoming shows!

I'm very excited to announce that I was accepted in Vinoklet's Art & Wine Festival which is September 10th & 11th. As well as the Loveland High School Arts & Crafts Show on November 5th! I'm really excited be participate in both of these shows, and have a lot of little things to get ready before them.

Adorable Puppy

This is Nikki - I just sent her portrait off to the printer and should be receiving the finished product this week. Her owners bid on a custom portrait at the Animal Friends Humane Society Bark n' Purr Ball 2010. I thank them for their generous bid, and for this adorable photo to create a portrait from!

Oh so happy Tess!

This portrait started with a very beautiful and creative photo. I love the lighting on the original, and the expression on her face is just priceless!

This portrait was ordered as a birthday present just about a month out from the actual birthday and was completed and delivered with days to spare.

Did a little volunteering today

I would say today has been a pretty productive Saturday! Made some brownies for the bake sale at Animal Friends Humane Society today along with their annual Easter Egg Hunt. Then I stuck around to walk a few dogs while I was there. I wanted to share two really great pups I met while I was there. And please share if you know of anyone looking for a new furry friend.

Nikki

Loved her. I have to admit that I was just a little nervous when I realized Nikki was one of the only dogs left that hadn't been walked and she just happened to be a German Shepherd. Then I remembered she was probably just as nervous for me to go in and get her out of her cage. Boy was I wrong!! Easy as pie to get the leash on her and oh was she happy to go for a nice long walk. So soft, gentle with me, walks great on the leash, and just a doll! We even worked on learning sit while on our walk, and I can tell she is a real quick learner.

Meishka

Sweet as can be! She is a very unique looking dog, they have her marked as a spaniel mix. She was too funny on the walk because she would get so excited that she would start snorting like a pig. She is so soft and after we were done walking on the muddy trail I went into her kennel to wipe her clean. She cuddle up so sweet and really enjoyed the individual attention.

More portraits to share soon I promise! One is a gift so I want to wait to post, and currently working on two more. Will post soon!
