A talented artist's passion

By: Joseph Herring

Many beloved pets can live forever thanks to an artist's special talent, even if it is only on the mantel. For any master of a white rat, cat, dog or pony, he would think that his pet is the greatest in the whole wide world and she agrees to this very much. Such proud owners have to coax and coo their adorable little pets so that they can be immortalized on the mantel by making them pose their best in front of the camera. But as the film gets back, Samantha opens her mouth and Scottie's ear droops. Willy was obscured by shadows and blue boy had a foot cut off. The adorable pet's photographic souvenir turned out to be a disaster.

The lady artist comes to the rescue by painting a portrait of the favorite pet after a photograph reflecting the animal's adorable trait is handed to her. Working from a photograph has become a very popular practice among illustrators today. A master of painting can still correct the faults found in a fuzzy, off centered or dim picture taken by the master of the animal. Creating portraits of people are hard but she truly enjoys making animal paintings.

Capturing the spirit of the subject is the objective. If one person could look and scrutinize her work, he would state that the subject seems happy, morose or whatnot. The picture makes her quite satisfied. Snapshots of human beings would usually come out like pet snapshots, with very little of the person's personality or character emanating while composition and lighting and composition leave much to be wanted. Often the quality of the snapshot won't allow enlarging a print to framing size to hang on the wall. The portrait artist comes in right here. She can take a close up photo, even a small one, and create a portrait that's warm, intimate and personable.

With her creative prowess, she changes tone and color and this makes things way effective. She does not veer away from the real things deviate from the facts before her but adds subtle improvements. When working with people and creating their portraits, she works in the medium they want her to use in depicting them. She used pen, ink and watercolor to create the sheriff's picture, for example. Most of her work entails this procedure.

Tiny dots compose the shading and you will find this once you look closely. A hundred thousand dots are found in the picture of the sheriff. Using a rapidograph pen, she demonstrated how the effect was achieved. She compares this to pens with old ink which splatters and this is by far more convenient to use especially in creating details as this can be steered to any direction quite easily. Ease of manipulation and utmost smoothness is present in this.

A real artist is one who has mastered his signature style. There is no doubt that this lady uses definite realism in working. A passion for horses streamed in during her younger days and now it has evolved into a love for making portraits. While exhibiting in art shows and fairs, she learned so much.

Through a private collection, a college library or a Legion hall display, people began to be curious about her. And the Midwest learned about her paintings through this. Commercial artwork and nudes on velvet were exciting but she was never got any satisfaction the way painting people and pets had given her.
