Painting Before Pony Penning

With our Pony Penning Trip just around the corner (next week!) Minnow has been doing a little painting to get ready.

Minnow the Painting Pony

With Paintbrush in mouth, he’s been creating some special masterpieces to take with us on the trip to the island.

Minnow is all smiles, as one of his favorite things to do is to paint!

Around here we like to think the mark of a true artist is the mess he leaves behind – and Minnow certainly knows how to make a mess!

Painting, Laughter, and Dachshunds

On Monday we took advantage of the BEAUTIFUL day and broke out the paints.

Minnow was really excited (if you can’t tell by the look on his face).

Even Ammo enjoys our “painting days”, especially since he always gets to be designated cheerio clean-up dog.

Minnow painted two amazing paintings, one of which I fell in love with and decided to add to my personal collection.

Of course I couldn’t leave out Minnow’s brothers, Blitz and Boomer, when it came time to paint.

Blitz had a blast throwing around the paint this time, and got in touch with the messier side of his artistic creativity.

I think his newest painting really reflected his “messy artist” mood that day.

And after patently waiting his turn at the easel Boomerang was ready for some fun.

Boomer is definitely the goofball of the bunch – always making paintings filled with laughter.

His smile is always contagious.

After 4 plus hours each of the ponies had had their turn at the easel.

As per usual, by the end of the day everyone was covered in paint, including me.
