On Monday we took advantage of the BEAUTIFUL day and broke out the paints.<\/p>\n

\"Chincoteague<\/p>\n

Minnow was really excited (if you can’t tell by the look on his face).<\/p>\n

\"ammo<\/p>\n

Even Ammo enjoys our “painting days”, especially since he always gets to be designated cheerio clean-up dog.<\/p>\n

\"Chincoteague<\/p>\n

Minnow painted two amazing paintings, one of which I fell in love with and decided to add to my personal collection.<\/p>\n

“Fluttering By<\/a>” by Chincoteague Minnow<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

“From the Mountain to the Sea” by Chincoteague Minnow (personal collection)<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Of course I couldn’t leave out Minnow’s brothers, Blitz and Boomer, when it came time to paint.<\/p>\n

\"blitz<\/p>\n

Blitz had a blast throwing around the paint this time, and got in touch with the messier side of his artistic creativity.<\/p>\n

\"blitz<\/p>\n

I think his newest painting really reflected his “messy artist” mood that day.<\/p>\n

And after patently waiting his turn at the easel Boomerang was ready for some fun.<\/p>\n

\"boomerang<\/p>\n

Boomer is definitely the goofball of the bunch – always making paintings filled with laughter.<\/p>\n

\"boomerang<\/p>\n

His smile is always contagious.<\/p>\n

After 4 plus hours each of the ponies had had their turn at the easel.<\/p>\n

\"Chincoteague<\/p>\n

As per usual, by the end of the day everyone was covered in paint, including me.<\/p>\n
