my little picassos

So I have been painting lately like I said, and tonight I got this crazy idea in my head.
I thought, "hey, lets make a painting with puppy paws!" (thus further proving my obsession for my dogs) So I created a little set up in the back yard and attempted to get my dogs to walk all over the canvas with different color paint on their paws...who is crazy enough to try that??
It pretty much ended up being just as big of a mess as I thought it would be...maybe even more.
Here is the diva himself.
I forgot how prissy my pug is.
He hated getting paint on his paws.
He wouldn't walk on the canvas either so I ended up just grabbing him and putting his paws on it.
Therefore, the smear marks are him resisting me.
Charlie is really a piece of work himself.
Gus really didn't know what was going on...but he didn't like it.
He ended up with paint all over his face and body.
You can kinda see it in this picture.
Also, navy blue on paws was a bad idea.
I also ended up covered in paint from the knees down.
BUT Here is the final product.
No definite paw prints, however you can pretty much tell it's art...haha.
Oh well. I like it. I'm hanging it up.
Side note: No doggies were hurt in the making of this art. They did, however, end up getting baths.
