I’m sure all the Dogsters who read the blog regularly will remember our ‘Win A Painted Portrait‘ contest we had in April. Artist Kathryn Beals generously offered to paint a portrait for one lucky Dogster . We had a ton of entries but in the end Mollie was chosen as the winner.

Kathryn is an amazing artist and she’s painted quite a few portraits for Dogster members. Her portraits are a great gift to give yourself or one of your dog loving friends. It’s also a wonderful way to memorialize your dog, something special you’ll have long after your best friend is gone.

One of the best things about Kathryn’s work is that she guarantees it. If for any reason you are not happy you can get your money back. How many artists offer that deal? I can tell you, not many.

Pictured above is Mollie’s finished portrait and on the left is the picture the portrait was modeled after. I told you Kathryn is amazing. On her How I Paint blog you can follow along the painting process from beginning to end.

Kathryn has just added a new feature, video. For the first time she filmed the painting from start to finish. She sped up the footage into an 8 minute “speed painting.” Check it out!

I want to thank Kathryn again for providing Dogsters a chance to win one of her gorgeous custom paintings. For all those who entered and didn’t win, keep an eye out because there just might be another chance come fall.
