While this female graphic artist does her work, little faces observe her every move. There was nothing particularly vibrant and joyful about her work at home, which involved handling form designs and creating ads and coupons. Outside her office sit four dogs and four cats, watching her through a screened door.
Those faces are launching a new career path for this graphic artist who is 34. She was headed for Texas when she decided to put the images of her animals on canvas. Her portraits are made using colors that reflect the animals' personalities.
She needs to have the essence of the animal found in her paintings. I need to know the animal's personality so that I can recreate it with colors. In Mississippi, she painted a mixed breed, which was her first painting. It was a dog which never left the couple, and whose color was red.
It was the color green which she used for her jealous dog's portrait. Before her, another artist used nontraditional colors to paint animals. Inspired by his dog who had already passed away, a cajun artist painted a dog using the color blue.
The blue dog attracts attention in her paintings. There are those who are amused by the blue dog paintings, but the artist actually sees the paintings as a haunting interpretation of the loss he felt upon losing her. Many of the paintings are very funny on the surface, but the basis is actually a spiritual one, suggesting, for example, that there is no death but that love and memories perpetuate life, according to the artist's biography on the official blue dog Web site. Questions that have haunted man since existence are now being asked us by the dog in the painting.
The character of the animal has to be seen in her art. Using an array of bright colors and unusual patterns, she tries to recreate them. The animals were either rescued from the shelter or the streets. The latest addition to the family is a dog who was wandering from one house to another.
She promoted her pet portraits by going to local veterinarian offices and leaving fliers there. She asks clients to send photos and describe the animal's personality. The colors she uses for the portrait depends on her knowledge of the animal's personality. The portraits that she makes allow customers to find something for themselves, the owner said.
The painting of her was a bright yellow, revealing her energetic side. A person who owns an art gallery said portraits have more appeal if people know who the subjects are. Appreciating a portrait is a separate idea from simply looking at the portrait.
