Come join us
thank you for joining the fun
Sonia's much awaited new pet portrait exhibition was launched as a fundraising event with benefiting charity - AWLQ also attended the exhibition opening on Saturday, 5 November held at the Creative Hearts Art Gallery in Australia Fair on the Gold Coast.
We appreciated you joining us in person and on-line. There are plenty of highlights from the exhibition including 'Red Dotting' the sold originals (FB) (Whoo Hoo) and sharing about how to support AWLQ (FB) - and enjoying a feast for the eyes (FB)
and more.... The fun continued through the month of November as the Sheltered Pet Art collection was on display at the Creative Hearts Art Gallery on the Gold Coast.
Thank you to everyone who dropped in to say Hi!
