THE MEET THE ARTIST PARTY AT THE HOTEL INDIGO

Last weekend I was the guest of honor at  A  “Meet the Artist” gathering at the

HOTEL INDIGO in St Petersburg Florida

Hotel Indigo is an adorable boutique Hotel which lies just 3 blocks from Central Avenue in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg, Florida, just steps from top museums, attractions, and restaurants. While I was only there for a mere 24 hours I had some time to explore and was completely smitten with the area…it reminds me a bit of parts of Los Angeles….

The Hotel Indigo is a HUGE supporter of new and emerging ART work and rotates Artists though on an annual basis. At the Meet the Artist Gathering, the attendees are given the opportunity to choose (by placing a sticker by their favorite) which piece of ART will become part of the Hotel’s permanent collection. INDIGO SHOW

the guest chose one of my all time favorites…

Indigo Show

…..another component of the evening was the presentation of a Custom Pet portrait (by me) which had been won at a fundraiser for a local shelter called Pet Pals.

Pet Pals is a little different that many shelters..”Our mission is rescue animals from other shelters that may be at risk of being euthanized due to illness, injury, or lack of socialization or training. We also promote responsible animal ownership through spay and neuter services. We do not accept strays.”

I had been in contact with the winner and when she told me about her dog “Abby”…. it became quite clear that Abby had a best friend..Diego, and that the two should be painted together.

  1. I love all your animal paintings. I have seven dogs, so it would be hard to choose which dog should be painted. I would love to win a painting from you on My Sweet Savannah blogspot. Thanks for sharing your art work with others. You are amazing!!
