Leeroy Out Loud!

After careful deliberation, Rae Huestis, Brenda Lynch, and I chose Kellie Oliphant-Burns's painting of her Italian Greyhound, entitled Leeroy Out Loud!, as this year's winner of The Mutt Lynch - Dog Art Today Wine Label Contest.

I will be writing a feature on Kellie next month, but be sure to see more of her work at Doodle Dog Paintings.

Congratulations, Kellie!  And thank you again to all the artists and voters who participated.  We plan to to it again next year.
