The Artist's Passion, Creating Portraits of People and Pets

On the mantel, pets can live forever thanks to a very talented artist

. For every person who has a pet be it a pony, dog, cat or even white rat, he will think that it is the loveliest and smartest pet in the world, and she agrees to such. Most of these proud owners coax and coo their adorable pets before they can stay in front of the camera and allow the artist to immortalize on the mantel their likeness. But when finally the film comes back, a precious ear of Scottie droops while Sam's mouth curls into a yawn. Willy was obscured by shadows and blue boy had a foot cut off. The pet was supposed to be immortalized in a photographic piece but then it turned out to be a huge flop.

By way of a photograph showcasing the cutest traits or personality of the pet, she can remedy this problem and create a great animal portrait. It has become a common practice to work from a photograph and many illustrators agree to this. Although the photos pet lovers bring to an artist are sometimes fuzzy, off centered and feature poor lighting, an experienced artist has the skill to correct the faults. She said, animals are fun to paint but the challenge is in people.

The goal is the catch the subject's spirit. If one can stand back and say of a portrait she has done, the subject looks happy, lonely, or whatever. The picture makes her quite satisfied. Often, pictures taken of people would normally be the same with some pet snapshots, where very little of the person's personality or character shines out while composition and lighting leave a lot to be desired. Often, the picture quality would not permit it to be blown up and hung up on a wall after being framed. That's where the portrait painter comes in. Portraits that are personable, warm and intimate come out from her own close up photos, even small ones.

She changes color and tone to make things more effective and she is able to do this thanks to her creativity. She retains the facts before her but she can artfully create subtle enhancements. When it comes to a customer's portrait, she works in the medium they want her to work with. In a portrait of the local sheriff, for example, she used a combination of pen and ink and watercolor. She does the majority of her portraits with this method.

With a closer look, you will see how tiny little dots make up the shading of the portrait. In the sheriff portrait, there are about 100,000 dots, she shares. She demonstrated the rapidograph pen she used for the effect. This is essential for detail as she explained she can move the pen in any direction when line drawing and it won't spatter like the old ink drawing pens. Ease of manipulation and utmost smoothness is present in this.

Every artist develops his or her own style or he is not an artist. It is not difficult to recognize the lady's style as definite realism. It has steadily developed from her school days, when her favorite subjects were horses, to her present preoccupation with portraits. She has been able to derive so much insights during times that she participates in art shows and exhibits.

Through a private collection, a college library or a Legion hall display, people began to be curious about her. And such is the story of her painting's fame throughout the Midwest. Commercial artwork and nudes on velvet were exciting but she was never got any satisfaction the way painting people and pets had given her.
