Thanks Beth and Miss Caraboo…

As an artist I spend a god deal of time on each painting…sounds strange but I tend to get attached to the subject, especially when they are as lovely as Miss Caraboo. A great big Thank You for taking the time to forward this delightful image of the two of you along side the painting, glad you both love it!

Photographing Your Furry Friends…

                                                                                                

I get several e-mails a day from individuals inquiring  how to capture images of pets. It really is pretty easy….the number one ingredient of course is knowing how to use your camera….photographing during the right time of day…..which usually is morning, late afternoon. Having a squeak toy or two….a few very tasty treats and then hanging out with your favorite furry friend and just having some fun. Pay attention to your lighting….and never be afraid to get down to your pets level. I have been known to crawl around when need be. Make your images fun by trying new and fun things….try not to always place your pet in the center of the image….get close…think body parts….paws, nose, eyes. , tail.

Niki

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yep…it is true…my dogs are the most photographed and painted pups. They are just too cute 😉

The temputure in the Atlanta area has finally cooled off…for a few days anyway. We have enjoyed our outside time, downside…the temp. to Niki’s pool…..chilly. So, last night a solar cover was placed on her pool….we shall see how well it works for after a couple of days of not swiming her hind area has gotten weak. She really needs this….I still have not found anyone in the Atlanta area with a heated pool willing to allow us a few swims for the winter months…she really needs it.

Gemma

                                                                                                               

 

 Time for new paintings of my crew….so one will be done for each dog, then a group painting. We sometimes forget to keep up with photographing our furry friends….if one can, a painting is a lovely memory for you to have of your beloved pet…it also makes the perfect gift!

The colors fit Gem to a T…as does the shadows and highlights. Gem is a very loving dog, however she does not “Trust” people. Took her a good while for her to trust me….but she now does. She was a clients dogs. She came to me for training….socialization. After a few months her people no longer wanted her….so she is now part of the pack. We adore her!
