Bid on a One-of-a-Kind Pet Portrait by Betty Lucas! 🐾

When artist Betty Lucas was growing up in a family of nine kids, pets were strictly off-limits. Maybe that’s why she’s spent her life doting on every dog she meets — becoming the “auntie” to neighborhood pups long before she ever had one of her own.

In 2020, Betty discovered her true artistic passion during an online art course. Though she began sketching people, it was when she tried her hand at dogs that everything “clicked.” Suddenly, she could capture not just a likeness, but the soul and personality of each animal — especially through their eyes.

Soon after, Betty welcomed a Maltipoo named Butter into her life, and she hasn’t stopped drawing dogs since. Whether meeting pups downtown, at the marina, or in the park, Betty finds inspiration in every wagging tail. Today, her pastel pet portraits are treasured keepsakes, full of warmth and life.

✨ This is your chance to win a custom portrait of your beloved pet! Betty will create a hand-drawn pastel portrait that captures the unique spirit of your furry family member. Don’t miss this opportunity to take home a piece of art that celebrates the bond you share with your pet.

Raise your paddle high — your pet deserves to be a masterpiece!
