I can just look and look & see so much thought and care that went into creating this and your other paintings. It requires quite a bit of knowledge about your subjects in order to make them look so real. The eyes on this one look like they are looking right at you. Amy
It's just all in using good reference photos, Amy. If I can "see" it, I can "paint" it. I find images on the 'net, in magazines, all over. I don't blatantly copy them, but use them to get the anatomy and structure of my subjects as close to "real" as I can.
I am an artist and instructor of several media, including Oils, Watercolors, Acrylics and Pen & Ink. Published author of "WILDLIFE LANDSCAPES YOU CAN PAINT" ( NorthLight Books ) Instructional Dvd's also available.
Art is a passion. I love being able to take a "blank" surface ( either canvas, paper, whatever ) and turn it into something of value, both emotional and monetary.
It literally means creating something that was not in existence up 'til that moment in time. That is a powerful accomplishment!
I have posted a photo of "Final Rays", an oil painting from one of my Dvd's.
