Your Artistic Inspiration for #DogwoodWeek9 is the mood you are feeling today. Take that mood and use it to create art. It is an inspiration challenge. The challenge for us is to take a photo showing Mom’s mood, but she probably wouldn’t be in the photo. Would we be able to take a photo that other people would pick up on the mood?
We just returned from a three day road trip to Sioux Falls, SD for AKC Scent Work. They have great trials, and Mom knew it would be a super happy weekend. She decided to make her mood photo something to do with our trial. The first idea was the Little Sprout smiley face. On the way to the trial, we passed by the Green Giant statue again, and Mom snapped the smiley photo. The smiley face definitely shows her mood, but it wasn’t quite what she wanted, and it didn’t have me and Bailie in the photo. We were driving in a blizzard, so she didn’t want to get us out to post with Little Sprout.
Our weekend was not only fun, but pretty successful too! Mom wanted a smiley face somehow. When we got home last night, she decided to put all our ribbons in a smiley mouth, and we were asked to sit there as the eyes. Bailie and I make Mom so very happy, and our super fun and successful trials really make Mom happy. The Artistic Inspiration this week is the mood you are feeling today. Take that mood and use it to create art. I think she created something artistic with what was making her happy the past couple days. Do you agree?
PS: We will post more about our trip and sniffing trials later this week.
