subject: Portrait Painting Business [print this page] From alligators to parakeets to a champion black angus that's the range of the portraiture of this man, which currently is developing into a thriving and highly specialized art business. As he puts it, if someone has a pet flea and can get a good clear photograph of it, I'll paint it. So far, however, he has restricted himself to birds, dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and one alligator.
As a growing boy, he found joy in arts and animals. If someone is to support a wife and child then selling fine paintings to make a living is not good enough as all artists are familiar with. In the Bay Area where he moved he tried to pursue a career in commercial art as he continued studying. What he did during World War II was open his display business and engaged in fine art as a hobby.
He made a portrait of a friend's siamese cats and this was when his wife suggested that he develop his hobby into a business as his work delighted even the cats that ended up almost destroying the painting by purring and rubbing against it. The earnings that were generated from his pet portrait painting business were rather impressive.
The cow palace housed his most recent works. From then on he was showered with commissions to come up with portraits of fine show horses, a pet parakeet whose owner raised it from an egg, and also a champion rabbit. What a famous television actor singer and recording artist wanted him to do was to make a portrait of his horse. Making a portrait of a winning black angus also became one of his tasks. It is something better than painting people portraits for him and he says that the subjects do not kick.
One big university in Santa Clara has a new director of the gallery and museum and she was the former director of a big museum in San Jose and she took on the job about a month ago after a reverend died early last month.

It is at a gallery in San Francisco where a local sculptor will be exhibiting his work. Thirty works of his covering neo classical to highly abstracted forms will be exhibited in the gallery. He is a highly talented artist who is also a writer and photographer apart from conducting a ballet school. Starring in the movie spectre of a rose is this man. A display will be extended in a famous museum and it will be exhibiting more than 200 objects, paintings, prints, books, and sculptures from a private collection.
Covering 50 years is the collection of one couple from Pennsylvania. What it consists of include scores of other historic greats plus the works of a dozen well known painters. Collecting books was a hobby of the husband when he was still a student of Harvard but now he has been able to add many of the more valuable objects to his collection purchasing them on installment.
