Yard Art

Tasha here! As some of you pups know Isabella's mom is putting together a site for arts-crafty humans. We were wondering if any other pups have artistic talent. I know that Isabella is an expert toilet paper sculpture, and Dave at the Army of 4 is a big help to his mom with her quilts, but what about all you other pups? On Sunday we had a neighborhood art project! Dad didn't have the camera so he didn't catch any of the actual artistic creativity in action. Too bad! We had three other dogs from our 'hood over in the back yard. Boo, a beautiful Wiemaraner,his cute sister Molly, a lab mix, and Yogi, a Doberman from the family behind our house. Along with Eva and I we all created a wonderful tribute to spring!

This picture is of the back corner of our yard. It has a huge willow tree that Dad loves to hate. He says it blocks the sun so its hard for the grass to grow. And a lot of water seems to collect under it. All the better for the art! Not that impressive you say? Well, to truly appreciate the work we must take a detailed and critical look at the piece, as one would do with any work of fine art. The technique above is what is called the "Slide n Stop". Notice the careful attention to ripping up as much grass as possible.

This element is a fine example of the 3-dimensional imprint. Observe that the artist needed to express his/her need to make a strong impression on Dad's lawn.

Here we have a fantastic example of artists working together to form a very impressive permanent hole that will be around for future generations of pups to admire.

And, of course, no work of art is complete until it has a signature. After the hard work of creating was done all the pups went home. All had very dirty feet. What one must suffer for their art! Cuz our feet were so dirty Dad thought if we went for a walk maybe some of his yard would wear off our feet. Creating art and a walk back-to-back? LUCKY DOGS! So how about it Blogging Dogs. Does anypup else have artistic talent? Lets see your work!! Belly Rubs, Tasha
