Canine and Wild Life Art Exhibition

For those folks who reside in the Baltimore, Maryland area, or for those who may be planning a trip in the near future, there is a wonderful treat in store for you. Additionally if dogs are your passion and you are also a dedicated bird watcher who enjoys perusing art shows, Mimi Little, an animal lover and talented artist who paints both dog portraits and pictures of wild birds is holding a fascinating art exhibit until the end of June. For the past two years, Ms. Little has been working on dog portraits. Her work is not traditional by any means. Her goal is to capture the essence of her subjects by highlighting the dog's personality, focusing on their eyes, their body language, and special qualities and also what she understands they are trying to communicate to her. She uses a multimedia approach, incorporating collage, important objects to the owners, and may even add crystals to her artwork. In this unique exhibition, Ms. Little is also featuring her delightful series of shore birds from Florida. She will also be leading workshops for those who have an artistic bent, on Saturday, June 13 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. She will be teaching a less formal method of painting, utilizing a wide variety of mediums and methods to bring subjects to life. The fee for the class is $50.00. The exhibition will be open until June 30 at Annemarie Garden, so there is still time to plan a vacation and include this on your itinerary.
