A New Pet Business in Portraits

Read More About Pets and Animals

Alligators are not the only subjects for the portraits of one man as he also works on parakeets and a champion black angus and it has been growing into a thriving not to mention highly specialized art business. He can paint something as minute and odd as a pet flea just as long as a high quality photograph of it is presented. So far, however, he has restricted himself to birds, dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and one alligator.

This man became interested in art and animals as a youngster. But, as many an artist knows it's pretty tough to make a living out of selling fine paintings, especially when one has to support a wife and youngster. He wanted to pursue a career in commercial art as he continued his studies after moving to the Bay Area. During World War II he managed to start his own display business, meanwhile continuing his first love, fine art, as a hobby.

What he did was make a portrait of a pair of siamese cats owned by a friend and then his wife suggested that he develop his hobby into a business after it delighted the cats who purred and rubbed against it almost ruining the piece in the process. When it comes to his income from the pet portrait painting business the results are rather impressive.

His newest pieces were displayed at the cow palace. What happened next was that he was showered with request to do portraits of a pet parakeet whose owner raised it from an egg, a champion rabbit, as well as fine show horses. From a well known television actor singer and recording artist came about the request for him to make a portrait of his horse. Another thing he was asked to do was make a portrait of a winning black angus. Aside from having subjects that rarely kick he considers it to be better than painting people portraits.

Considering a big university in Santa Clara there is a new director of the gallery and museum and in San Jose she was the former director of a big museum and she succeeded a reverend who died early last month. In the art world the new director is well known and she exhibited through the nation as well as locally at the palace of the legion of honor.

There is a local sculptor whose works will be exhibited at a gallery in San Francisco. Covering neo classical to highly abstracted forms are thirty of his works which will be exhibited. Other than being a highly talented artist, he also conducts a ballet school and he is a photographer and writer. He was one of the stars in the film, spectre of a rose. Coming from a private collection will be more than 200 objects, sculptures, paintings, prints, and books that will be displayed in a famous museum.

A collection spanning 50 years is the collection of a couple from Pennsylvania. The works of a dozen renowned painters plus scores of other historic greats comprise it. When he was still a student of Harvard the husband began to collect books but he was able to expand his collection to include many of the more valuable objects which he buys on installment.
