The experience of having your own painting commissioned from start to finish can add a happy memory to the final piece. I can work from existing clear photos; but by getting acquainted with my subject, I carry away with me something extra that marinates in the back of my mind. I start with a feeling about that particular animal, and as I study the pictures taken, I explore the visually unsaid as keenly as the said, as I pour over the photos. The whole experience from the first introduction to the final portrait is a happy exciting one.
