Austin is known for many things, one of which is the expression, "Keep Austin Weird". It's in reference to preserving the uniqueness of this town and not allowing it to turn into "Every Town, USA". When Walk Your Dog Austin hosted the 1st Annual Weenie Dog Swim Meet this past summer, I just knew it would be a fun event to attend and get some reference photos to create a painting with later on. So a couple of days ago, inspired by the newness of oils on my brushes again, I found the photo I wanted to use to create a painting of the race. What a riot it was to see so many Dachshunds attempt to swim in perfect form across the springs to their cheering devoted, (albeit, perhaps a bit deluded) owner. I'm definitely looking forward to next years event as well.
