A Dog Painting a Day for a Month

A Dog Day Month

 The Dog Days of Summer are upon us, and the Artist and the Traveler Artist James Swanson will be celebrating them by creating a dog painting a day for a month. Starting July 7,  James will be painting mans best friends from photos that are sent to him at 

TheArtistAndTheTraveler@gmail.com
.
You see a few months back James lost one of  his best friends and walking companion Amber, so he’s paying tribute to her and to others friends pets by starting this series of paintings. The paintings will be made into a small gallery exhibit, sale and a self published book with a portion of the proceeds going to local animal shelters. 

Want to be a part of the series? Here is what James will be looking for in the photos for it -

James is primarily landscape painter, so interesting landscapes with dogs will be nice to see, but he also enjoys painting portaits and slice of life scenes as well. So he’ll be open to may things. Please send a few photos of your mans best friend to give James a good selection to choose and work from. He will not be able to paint all the pets photos that are sent,  but will give it his all to make fabulous trbute of paintings. 

Send photos to - theartistandthetraveler@gmail.com 
Thanks and good painting!
