There is a man who paints portraits of everything from alligators to parakeets to a prized black angus and this is growing into a highly specialized art business and a thriving one at that. As he puts it, if someone has a pet flea and can get a good clear photograph of it, I'll paint it. So far, however, he has restricted himself to birds, dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and one alligator.
This man became interested in art and animals as a youngster. Artists were familiar with how selling fine paintings cannot be resorted to when making a living to support a wife and a kid. He moved to the Bay Area and attempted to pursue a career in commercial art as he continued studying. He started his own display business in World War II and engaged in fine art as a hobby.
The siamese cats he painted that were owned by a friend almost destroyed the painting by purring and rubbing against it and it was after the work gained much praise that his wife suggested that he develop his hobby into a business. The earnings that were generated from his pet portrait painting business were rather impressive.
He featured several of his latest masterpieces at the cow palace. What happened next was that he was showered with request to do portraits of a pet parakeet whose owner raised it from an egg, a champion rabbit, as well as fine show horses. A painting of his horse was requested by a renowned television actor singer who was also a recording artist. He was also commissioned to do a portrait of the winning black angus. He comments that it sometimes beats painting people portraits, the subjects don't kick usually.
One big university in Santa Clara has a new director of the gallery and museum and she was the former director of a big museum in San Jose and she took on the job about a month ago after a reverend died early last month. Also a well known artist is the new director and she exhibited through the nation and locally at the palace of the legion of honor.
For his works a local sculptor will be exhibiting them at a gallery in San Francisco. Shown by the gallery will be thirty of his works covering neo classical to highly abstracted forms. Conducting a ballet school is this highly talented artist who is a writer and photographer at the same time. Where he starred is the movie entitled spectre of a rose. From a private collection will come more than 200 objects, paintings, prints, books, and sculptures that will be remaining on display for an extended period of time at a famous museum.
Spanning 50 years is the collection of a couple from Pennsylvania. Apart from the scores of other historic greats there are works by a dozen renowned painters. What started when he was still a student of Harvard was the book collection of the husband but he soon expanded this to consist of many of the more valuable objects that he bought on installment.
