Serious Doggie Art

From masterpieces to photo mugs, more and more choose to decorate their homes with doggie art. There are two women, mother and daughter from Memphis, Tennessee, who paid a renowned pastel artist to draw four of their dogs. This canvas is treated like an old family portrait, whose value has increased since the death of two of their beloved pets. You shouldn’t even think that one dog looks like the next.

Last year, they held a couple session for Kelly Rae, a cockapoo puppy, and Miss Manners, a Lhasa apso. Kelly is quite affable, while Miss Manners tends to be snooty. With that, you know everything you need to know about doggie art. Art connoisseurs lap up doggie art, as the next big thing.

The owner of a Manhattan gallery who specializes in 19th century animal art says that good quality pet portraits that sold for $2,500 ten years ago sell for $10,000 today. A painting of Neptune the Newfoundland brought in an all time high of $577,000 in a recent auction. At the same time, a Frenchman who lives on Long Island and a leading animalier of this century, commands as much as $250,000 for a single beastly profile for his paintings.

The gallery owner credits the pet parade to a revived interest in Victorian decorating. Animal paintings, from pets to horses, pigs, and sheep, served the English for both business and pleasure. She testified as to the power of an animal painting to change the atmosphere in a room. If you like this paintings article check out oil painting uk for more top quality information.

She does not discriminate against locally commissioned pet projects, even though her usual fare is fine animal art. Across the nation, everyone is getting into the pet painting trend, which she considers serious art. Older portraits may not resemble descendants of the same breed, and in these cases the owner should commission a new painting. Animal artists must work within the guidelines of photos, that they take themselves sometimes, and the instructions of their patrons. Landscapes are the specialty of one water colorist from Germantown, Tennessee, who had the unfortunate experience of having to redo a painting of two shaggy dogs after her dissatisfied client asked her to adjust for the gleam in his dogs’ eyes. She delighted another owner, however, with a portrait of a deceased dachshund shown in five poses.

Eads, Tennessee, is the hometown of another watercolor painter, who does mostly houses and pets and boasts a 13 year run. Mostly, she paints dogs and horses, but there have been times when she was asked to paint cats, fish, and a frog. She can tell if the painting is a success by the reaction written on the client’s face, especially when the portrait is of a dead pet. Sobs may escape some owners.
