MY DESIGN WAS CHOSEN!

Yippee!! Time to celebrate! I posted back in September about the Art Unleashed fundraiser to benefit the Forsyth Humane Society. Click here to see that original post and find out about the fundraiser. I'd entered two designs this time around, and I just learned that one of them was chosen! They picked Scout in the Garden, and I am so excited! The design was based on my cat, who likes to lie around in the garden when I am working the dirt and weeding and planting, and on the flowers I grow and the scenery around my home. For the last fundraiser in 2008, I'd painted a dog sculpture, so this time it will be fun to do a cat... they are not quite as big either!

Here's the design I submitted and what I will follow once I pick up my form.



Forms and bases should be ready for pick-up in early January, so once the holidays are over, I'll be busy with this project. Stay tuned... I'll post images and descriptions as Scout in the Garden develops.

  1. Wow, how sweet and powerful that kitty looks! No wonder your design was chosen, Rebecca! Being a cat lover and "mom" of a now gone big guy who loved flowers, this touches me and makes me smile, too!

  6. Congratulations! "Scout in the Garden" is a wonderful design. Anticipating pictures!!! It will be hard to top "Dogwood", but this looks like a contender. Fantastic project!
