Funnily though I had never intended to paint animals per say but Garys image was stunning I was hooked!Lorraine Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501222231037623426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4259165259790299886.post-47479830382200212772013-01-03T09:22:49.271+10:302013-01-03T09:22:49.271+10:30Beautiful rendering, Lorraine.

I am sure, on the internet, that there are some good guides or suggestions for how to take interesting animal portraits. You are so good at painting them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4259165259790299886.post-67433813321226696002013-01-03T09:03:32.357+10:302013-01-03T09:03:32.357+10:30Hi Judith thanks for leaving your comments. I was ...Hi Judith thanks for leaving your comments. I was on line so am replying straight away. Your point of putting your stamp on it is extremely valid but with this fantastic image the composition was just perfect in fact the best I could imagine. It was a bit of a shock though to find within 24 hours the image staring back at me from the other side of the world though. Perhaps I should stick to my own intuitive, spontaneous hit and miss compositions!Lorraine Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501222231037623426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4259165259790299886.post-58549225878332540332013-01-03T08:49:46.605+10:302013-01-03T08:49:46.605+10:30Have also seen Sharon's image...... both reall...Have also seen Sharon's image...... both really good and fair point re using other people's images!!! Your other option of course is to put your own stamp on it so that it moves away from a photographic representation and becomes recognisable as yours... just a thought, though understand that maybe isn't what you wanted, trouble is Gary's photos are just so good and tempting for everyone!!Judith Farnworth Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466625674796659185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4259165259790299886.post-29176737660131019372013-01-03T06:57:13.521+10:302013-01-03T06:57:13.521+10:30Thanks Judy, bit of a change from my flowers but t...Thanks Judy, bit of a change from my flowers but they are my true loveLorraine Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501222231037623426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4259165259790299886.post-64984365242218343822013-01-03T06:56:25.736+10:302013-01-03T06:56:25.736+10:30Thanks Laura, just looking at trying different sub...Thanks Laura, just looking at trying different subject in an effort to get out of my norm. I see Sharon has also done this image and it is that reason why one should try and not use other people's images otherwise it is hard to be unique.
