I DID IT! FEBRUARY DOG-A-DAY – DAY 28!!! MEET A GIRL NAMED “BO”

I made it. I did it!

I painted and presented a Dog-A-Day for the Month of February!!

Let me introduce our Beauty Queen, the icing on the cake

“a girl name BO”

Her Mama writes, “This is my dog, Bo.

A girl Bo.  🙂 She is my husband and my first baby.  She was rescued from a kill shelter in WV and brought to D.C., where we adopted her at about a year old.  She changed our lives.  She is the sweetest, best behaved, most endearing pup we have ever had.  A few years after rescuing Bo we had our first son and 2 years later our second son.  Bo was amazing with our boys from day 1.  They consider her their older, fluffy sister.  She is 9, almost 10 years old now.  I can’t believe how fast time flies, but she is still as cute as ever.  She goes on a walk/jog with me every morning, and it’s the best way to start each day.”

Oh Bo. You sweet sweet girl. I absolutely loved painting you and I will miss your sweet face looking back at me from my studio walls.

SWEET SWEET BO

BO IS A VIRGINIA TECH HOKEY!

Wow, I feel like I just finished a Mini-Marathon. Such a Labor of Love. It started out to be just a challenge, try to paint a Dog-a-day for the month of February. But in the process of painting, of waking up every day…pouring my coffee and heading into the next room…my Dining Room/Studio taking out the days photos and getting to know that dog…it’s story…and then creating that face on a canvas…in the process – my heart got lighter. I guess you could say I went into February with a bit of a heavy heart…and exited lighter…more hopeful, more connected and centered and happy.

I DO HOPE to continue this endeavor …a new dog a day, once things quiet down with our house being for sale…. for now what I have decided to do is to get back to the HOME and DESIGN based posts on the blog but on Instagram (@leslidevito) I plan to continue posting dogs I have and will be painting…their faces will greet you and their stories will entertain you.

Thank you for following along , for sharing your dogs with me and for your kind words. Please take advantage of the offer on leslidevito.com to get a 10 x 10 dog portrait done…I am taking commissions through March 5.
