There are reports of an art collective of rats that create tiny abstract paintings with their feet, but these pets aren't the only animals with artistic talents. One dog owner recently discovered that their pups are wonderful co-creators. Color your dogs feet with washable (non-toxic) paint, then stamp the paws onto paper to turn your cute paw prints into a beautiful floral painting.
The idea came from a woman named LJ who decided to paint with her dog named Biscuit. The cute paw prints looked like flower shapes, so LJ decided to fill in the stems and leaves with a paintbrush to complete the picture. The idea took off online and the finished piece was not only good enough to hang on the wall, but fun to make.
Feeling inspired and want to make your own paw flower painting? You'll need non-toxic paint (try a variety of colors), brushes, paper, and of course, your dog. Check out some of the paw paintings below for inspiration.
Pet owners have been using their dogs’ paw prints to create beautiful paintings of flowers.
