Art Guild Meeting and a Good-Looking Bichon!

Our art guild had their Christmas luncheon and meeting today, It was nice getting together and having some chat time with other artists . We ate at a resturaunt that served Mexican food. I enjoyed the Chimechunga meal. The secretary reported that the art auction we had last month was quite a success, inspite of the depressed economy. I will be displaying some of my paintings in the Gallery beginning in January.

I had made an appointment for Izzy at the groomers for this morning, so I dropped her off on the way to my meeting, and she was ready shortly after I returned. I was so pleased with the results!! Now this is what a Bichon is supposed to look like! It just takes alot of work to keep her looking that way. I do have to admit I have been lax in that department lately.



Here she is wanting to go out and play with her friend, Tabby cat. Doesn't she look beautiful??


They put a Christmas-y kerchief on her neck.


Now she wants to play!



She says, "Look Mom, they forgot to paint my toenails!"


I also made my way to the Hobby Lobby in the next town and picked up more little canvases for my Christmas-y paintings. They were having a 50% off sale on picture frames so I ended up also bringing 4 of those home for the paintings I will be displaying in the gallery next month; and yes, I went by the sock yarn isle. I just can't seem to keep from going through there............. and buying some. After all, its so handy to the art supplies isle........... and I no telling when I'll be able to get back down there, right??
Now I just need to give the furniture a good vaccuming, get some groceries in, and do more painting. Don't forget to check my Sunny's Studio blog to get in on the give-away!!

  1. The doggy groomer turned that pup into a work of art. Maybe you need to paint her picture too.

  7. Izzy looks good! Ahh, I remember the days of grooming Bichons. Yes, they are a lot of work, but they look so good when done! I had a bag of Afghan hound hair saved to have spun into yarn, but it never happened.
