Other than working on parakeets and a champion black angus, there is a man who also likes working on alligators and it is growing into a successful 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. What he is doing as of today only takes into consideration horses, birds, cats, dogs, rabbits, and one alligator.

He moved to the Bay Area and attempted to pursue a career in commercial art as he continued studying. Fine art became his hobby during World War II when he opened a display business of his own.
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.

There was a well known recording artist not to mention television actor singer who requested for a painting of his horse. He was contracted to make the portrait of the award winning black angus. The subjects usually do not kick and he likes it better than painting people portraits.
