11-Mimi Dog Art 2.jpg 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.

11-Mimi Dog Art 1.jpg 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.

For more information and how to enroll in the class, visit: http://www.annmariegarden.org/AboutUs/Contact/contact.htm

Well first the author wants me to roll around in dog poop. Then she wants to lick me and now she wants me to take a trip. Have mercy woman! I would love to see this exibit. From the looks of things, I would love to be able to see her work, but right now, I am in training for the Olympic event in licking, so I won't be able to make it. I wish shse would come my way though, I would certainly make an attempt to see her beautiful work.
