2013 Labrador Retriever Calendar Contest “Show Me Your Labs”

Posted on March 30, 2012 by Molly

I would like to invite my Lab Lovin’ friends to participate in the process of creating next year’s Lab Calendar.
I am looking for reference photos of your happy Labs to use as inspiration for each month of 2013. I will select 12 winning images from the submissions to create a painting for each month. Contest winners will see their Lab(s) featured in the 2013 calendar as well as receiving a signed copy of the calendar.
This is a big project and something entirely new for me. I have been holding off announcing the contest for fear that I am biting off more than I can chew and the “what if” voice talking me out of taking a risk. What if no one wants to participate, what if something happens to prevent me from finishing the project…..?
Today, I am in the mood to ignore the doubts and send out a call for reference photos and take a leap of faith. Before I lose my nerve, I am hitting the “post” button.
I hope I have explained the rules and requirements for submitting your photos to this contest and I hope you will consider participating. Please feel free to email me with questions.
See below for more information and printable contest rules.

Call for Reference Photos!

Would you like to see your best friend featured in next year’s calendar?
I am looking for 12 awesome Labs to paint for next year’s calendar and I need your photos of your fabulous Labs.  (all 3 wonderful colors wanted!)

The past two years I have put out a Labrador Retriever painting calendar and it has been quite successful and popular. I thought a contest would be a fun way to include my lab loving friends involved in the process of creating next year’s calendar! I hope you will consider participating.

What kind of images am I looking for?

Happy Labradors, of course!
Yellows, Chocolates and Black Labradors
Your photos showing off what Labs do best whether it be snuggling, romping, swimming, or retrieving.
Photos can include more than one lab and more than one color.
Think seasons! Winter scenes, summer scenes…

Who will be Miss July? or Mister August?

Please read rules and submit photos using the submission guidelines outlined in the Complete Contest Rules and Submission Information

Molly Poole “Betties” a new acrylic on panel

Posted on March 13, 2012 by Molly


We often stop at a favorite farm stand on our way home from hiking or kayaking during the summer months. One visit, in addition to picking up some fresh picked corn, I tried to get a photo of the farm dog for a painting, but he wouldn’t sit still long enough. Got a shot of these busy ladies instead.
Framed and available for purchase.
