When Art Becomes A Business
When it comes to portraiture the range for one man includes parakeets, alligators, and a winning black angus and currently it is becoming a booming and 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. To this point, he opted to focus on animal subjects such as rabbits, horses, dogs, birds, cats, and just a single 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. He moved to the Bay Area and attempted to pursue a career in commercial art as he continued studying. It was in World War II when he opened a 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. When he entered into the pet portrait painting business, he was met with a desirable financial result.
He featured several of his latest masterpieces at the cow palace. He was then requested by a lot of owners to create portraits of a pet parakeet whose owner raised it from an egg, a champion rabbit, and 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. He was also commissioned to do a portrait of the winning black angus. He favors it more than painting people portraits and he said that the subjects do not normally kick.
In Santa Clara there is a big university with a new director of the gallery and museum who in San Jose was a former director of a big museum and she assumed the position after a reverend died early last month. Considering the new director she is a well known artist who exhibited nationally and locally at the palace of the legion of honor.
The works of a local sculptor will be exhibited at a gallery in San Francisco. When it comes to his works, thirty of them with neo classical to highly abstracted forms will be displayed. Apart from conducting a ballet school, he is also a writer, photographer, and a highly talented artist. There is a movie called spectre of a rose where he starred in. From a private collection will come more than 200 objects, paintings, prints, books, and sculptures that will be remaining on display for an extended period of time at a famous museum.
There is a couple from Pennsylvania whose collection covers 50 years. It includes some of the works of more than a dozen famous painters, and scores of other historic greats. For the book collection of the husband it got started when he was still a student of Harvard but he has purchased many of the more valuable objects on installment adding to his collection.
