Paint Your Pet night… and just look at these sweet faces 🐾🎨

Each photo in this carousel holds a little piece of someone’s heart. From wagging tails to soulful eyes, every painting tells a story of love, loyalty, and the joy our pets bring into our lives.

We gathered at Unity Spiritual Center, shared laughs, swapped pet stories, and created something so meaningful together. It’s more than just a painting—it’s a memory, a connection, a celebration of the ones who greet us at the door and never leave our side 💛

Take a scroll through… you’ll feel the love in every single one.

Which one is your favorite? Or better yet—drop yours below if you were there! 🐶🐱✨

Paint Your Pet night was one for the books 🐾🎨

We gathered at the beautiful Unity Spiritual Center and spent the evening doing what we love—sharing stories, laughter, and bringing our beloved pets to life on canvas. Every brushstroke held a memory, every painting told a story… because let’s be honest, our pets are family. They’re our comfort, our joy, our little shadows, and sometimes our biggest personalities 💛

There’s something so special about being in a room where everyone just gets it—the love we have for our furry companions runs deep, and tonight we celebrated that together in the most creative, heart-filled way.

Grateful for this community, these moments, and all the sweet pets that inspired tonight’s masterpieces 🐶🐱✨

If you joined us, drop a pic of your painting below—we would LOVE to see your pet come to life!

What a fun night at O’Doherty’s Irish Grille! 🍀

Our friend Fiona gathered an amazing group of friends, family, book club gals, and work family for a private Brushes Up with the Budanos painting event, and we painted a beautiful Irish countryside scene together.

The room was filled with laughter, creativity, and what the Irish would call a “craic” good time—the kind of night where everyone relaxes, connects, and surprises themselves with what they can create on canvas.

We love seeing groups come together like this. It’s never just about the painting—it’s about the memories made along the way.

Thank you, Fiona, for inviting us to be part of such a special evening!

If you’ve been thinking about planning a fun night out with your friends, book club, coworkers, or family, we’d love to bring the paint party to you.
