LIX

Arts for Hounds

Lix is an enrichment activity for Sighthounds. It is part of our Sighthound daycare programme at The Sighthound Social, our Glasgow based Doggy Daycare, exclusively for hounds. Lix is funded entirely by our Buy Me A Coffee donations service.

Why LIX?

Using a canvas loaded with paint, safely sealed in a plastic bag with peanut butter on top, creates a unique and exciting sensory experience for our hounds. The materials stimulate their sense of sight, touch and taste, encouraging them to engage in exploratory behaviour, and potentially creating a unique and interesting artwork. A varied programme of enrichment is crucial for the hounds overall well being.

The painting features a vibrant and lively composition, with playful brushstrokes and pops of color that bring the scene to life. The painting captures the joyful energy and playful nature of the artist, with a sense of spontaneity and freedom that is truly captivating. The dog's unique perspective and creative vision are on full display in this remarkable work of art, making it a true testament to the power of artistic expression. Whether you're a fan of abstract art or simply appreciate the beauty of creative expression, this delightful painting is sure to bring a smile to your face and brighten up your day
