The past few years I have participated in the Oakland Animal Services Bad Art fundraiser. For this fundraiser folks send in pictures of their pet with some other info about the pet, donate some amount of money, and OAS gives the pic to an artist who has signed up, they paint the pet and send the picture in. the artist can make produce any level of art in any flat medium.
I do not paint animals very often but I have tried to make cute pics for folks. Here are a few I’ve done.
And then I was cat sitting for a friend and I painted her cat. How could I not with the adorable pose draped over the couch!
I really like painting a fake fancy frame.
If you sign up as an artist you can let them know how many you are willing to paint over the course of the fundraiser. This year I only did one.
