LIT's Digital Art Pet Portraits on the Wagtime "Gallery Wall"

It was a very busy holiday season for me. I hand painted about thirty-five digital portraits. Included were a few groups of people but primarily it was dogs and cats of all breeds and in between. I love dogs and so creating these varied images is a treat. I finally had a chance to print them all, mount them on foam board, apply heavy duty velcro, and prepare them for display on the "gallery wall" at the Wagtime Too Shop. It is located across from the Historic Navy Yard on M Street on Capitol Hill. They offer a variety of services and goods for all the pet lovers in town - "boarding, daycare, grooming, & cool stuff." Unfortunately I ran out of foam board and photo paper, but had enough to complete and hang twenty portraits with eight more to go. The owners of the shops, Lisa Schrieber and Ofer Khal (there is also another one located on 9th Street NW) have allowed me to continue filling the space like wallpaper. There are now over 50 renderings on display. It's a great way to showcase digital art and is in such a perfect setting to show off all the furry friends from as far away as Australia, Canada, California, and Texas. Thanks Lisa and Ofer!
