FREETiny dog creates art canvases that sell for hundreds of dollars
A tiny three-year-old Pekingese dog, that lives with its owner,
Elizabeth Monacelli in southern California, has become the talk of the
town due to the miniature dog’s talent for art!
We all know that
Californians love their toy dogs but it still comes as a surprise that
they are willing to pay up to $250 for one of his scribblings.
The
dog, known as Ziggy (which his owner signs on the bottom of every
masterpiece), paints the pictures by grasping with his teeth at the end
of a paper towel roll, which has a paint brush attached at the other
end. His owner then props up a canvas and lets Ziggly go to work.
Monacelli
says he only manages an average of three brush strokes before he gives
up and falls asleep. 'He'll go for a while then just roll himself into a
little ball and start snoring. Or he wanders off looking for snacks,”
says Monacelli.
She claims the dog has an “extremely artistic
temperament” compared to her other dogs and that she plays him Chinese
music to get him in the mood for painting.
Monacelli has
auctioned off some of Ziggy’s painting and has donated the money to an
organisation that rescues neglected and abused animals.
Many
pet-owners in the UK are having canvas prints made from their pet
photos. If you have a great picture of your dog, cat, horse or even
snake(!!), why not have it enlarged and printed onto canvas to adorn
your wall in style.
