When it comes to animal portraits the range for one artist includes subjects alligators to parakeets to a prized black angus and this has been growing into 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. But he drew the line by restricting himself to accommodate birds, dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and one alligator.
His attention was drawn to creatures and the arts as a youngster. But, as many an artist knows it's pretty tough to make a living out of selling fine paintings, especially when one has to support a wife and youngster. He moved to the Bay Area and attempted to pursue a career in commercial art as he continued studying. During World War II he managed to start his own display business, meanwhile continuing his first love, 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. He went into the pet portrait painting business in earnest, with increasingly happy financial result.
Most recently he showed, some of his work at the cow palace. That prompted a shower of commissions to paint portraits of a champion rabbit, fine show horses, and even a pet parakeet whose owner fondly explained she had raised it from an egg. A well known television actor singer and recording artist requested him to create a portrait of his horse. The winning black angus was the subject of the portrait he was contracted to do. For him it is better than painting people portraits and his subjects do not usually kick.
