These images (at right) show the feather as it was being completed. Just a few more brush strokes and it's done! Lynda always holds her paintings while she is working on them, keeping the reference work close at hand for comparison to her work. This is especially important when she is working on custom paintings of pets, people, etc. |

A SIMPLE TIP If you want to commission a painting of your pet, the first step is to supply the artist, (whoever they may be) with good photos of the animal. As any pet owner will know, these animals sneak into your heart and become part of your family. Good reference photos make it possible for an artist to get a feel for the animal and to capture their individual personalities in their work. Lynda |
