So you know how I've been at these outdoor art shows for a few weeks now? Well, I've been sitting there in my booth for hours and hours, watching as hundreds of people pass by, talking to a lot of them and hoping they don't notice me staring at their afro-headed dogs and puppies and poodles and who-knows-what breed of pooch. As I sit and watch, it's becoming almost a game for me to try and spot the coolest looking dog or the cutest and smallest puppy. I really think the type of pet someone owns says a lot about them. My favorite for example are the giant dogs that, if freed from their leash , could be a very real threat to society. They're like miniature horses! Perhaps I like them so much because they make me, all 6 feet of me, feel small. Or maybe it's because they remind me of something wilder, like a bear.
You also have probably guessed that my fixation on custom portraits has been growing. I can't stop thinking about custom paintings...I think you know where this is going...
CUSTOM PET PORTRAITS!
Sorry. I get excited.
The only problem is that I own not a single pet to paint. If custom pet portraits is something I wish to offer, I need subjects. Which is where YOU come in.
Send me pictures of your pets, and I'll choose which ones I want to paint.
If you are so kind as to allow me the opportunity to use your pet portrait for promotional purposes (say that five times fast), I will GIVE you the portrait when I'm finished with it.
How does that sound?
So here's your chance! Send me your best pictures of your pets and if I choose your pet, you'll get free portrait!
Here's a few hints of what I'm looking for:
dogs sitting up or walking on a leash
cats curled up on patterned rugs
dogs being walked by their owners
cats sitting in window sills
Send your photos to Michelle@TheArtofMichelle.com or post them to my facebook page for your chance to win! I'll pick 2 winners- one cat and one dog.

What an awesome idea:O) I will try to catch my lovely grouchy beagle in a pose without him attacking me, he see's the camera and starts barking at me:(I posted a pic of him on FB, your booth set up is beautiful:O)
I saw your picture on facebook! He's a cutie pie.
