[Review] Challenge of November (1)
PENUP Main banner

For our first challenge this November, we asked you to paint something that includes ‘Dog’ , an animal that’s been a companion of ours for a very long time.

First, we will introduce the winners of this challenge through a video.


* If you can’t see the video, please check the link below.

Go to the epilogue of the 1st challenge of November


We got a chance to enjoy a variety of paintings and drawings featuring dogs.

We saw companion dogs people were, various types of different dog breeds, and we learned stories, some true and some legend, about dogs as well.

We had so much fun just imagining what these dogs would really look like in the real world.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the challenge with great artwork.

Then, shall we meet the winners of the challenge?

Uncontained Happiness / @HTH
colorful dog dreams / @Catsoul

This puppy is running along a forest trail filled with bright light.

The way it's jumping over fallen trees without a moment’s hesitation suggests that someone the puppy really likes is there to visit.

The look of uncontrollable happiness on the puppy’s face gives us a glimpse into its happy mind.

That one’s from @HTH.

Well done!


This next puppy lying on a cloud seems to be thinking about something.

In the sky, everything from food to a poodle, cat, and toys are floating down in soap bubbles.

Perhaps the puppy is trying to sleep, and it's imagining what it wants to see in his dreams.

Great work, @Catsoul.

Dog / @One2three
House Dog on Cushion / @2catsnow

Here, we have a Welsh Corgi with fluffy fur standing in the middle of a field full of yellow flowers.

See its tongue hanging out?

It looks like this little dog has been running around vigorously.

Maybe it's excited by the beautiful scenery.

After a short rest, I think it’ll start running around the field again, looking even happier.

Thank you, @One2three!


This puppy is lying on a floral cushion.

He looks very tired, with his half-closed eyes, an aloof expression, and legs just drooping down.

I think he’ll probably bury his face in the pillow and drift off to his dreams very soon.

Nice job, @2catsnow!

즐거운 댕이 / @sunny_

Moving on, we see a German Shepherd wearing a red tie standing with his front paws up on a chair and looking at a bird sitting on the backrest.

The bird in front of the window appears to be avoiding the dog's gaze as if it’s aiming for something.

I can't help but think that the room will be a mess when the Shepherd pounces and the birds start lying around trying to stay away.

That’s from @vlad.

Thanks!


This black puppy is standing in front of some yellow dandelion flowers.

It's taken one step towards the blooming flowers, and has its tongue sticking out with a happy expression on its face.

It seems like the dog wanted to show its owner the beautiful flowers it found while taking a walk.

Wonderful work, @sunny_.

Service Dog / @AKA

Inside a small restaurant, the chefs are busy preparing food.

A spotted puppy is lounging around the restaurant, watching the food getting ready.

Once things settle down, maybe the puppy might get a delicious meal from the chefs.

Thank you, @IceLady for sending that one in.


We have a man in sunglasses walking with a dog and a cane in his hand.

The smiling guide dog is helping a blind man.

The hand on his back and the smile on his face seem to show the gratitude the man has towards the guide dog that's become his eyes.

Well done, @AKA.

Colourful greyhound / @2OTeddyz

This greyhound is holding a large bone in its mouth.

He sits with his head held high, and a face filled with dignity.

Judging by the proud look on his face, the bone seems to have been a reward.

Nice job, @2OTeddyz!

Fireside Companion, Paula C. Jensen, 2024. / @Paula_Jensen

And finally, we have a dog and a woman spending time together, sitting in front of a fireplace.

The woman is sipping warm tea while the puppy cuddles up next to her, warming itself up by the fireplace.

Looking at the heavy white snow falling outside the window, cuddling up in front of the fire together seems like the perfect choice.

Thank you, @Paula_Jensen.





These are the 10 winners.

Congratulations!
