These are beautiful, melissaranks! Hey, if you ever want to try painting a multi-colored Catahoula Leopard hound, just let me know and I'll be happy to provide Mr. Blue pics :)

Nope. No talent here! Just Paint Shop Pro with the Plug-in Virtual Artist. I just take a closeup shot of the animal (or have it sent to me at HIGH resolution). Cut the animal out of the photo, disgard the background, add new background, use virtual artist to make painting!! LOADS of fun. Really only takes me about 10 minutes per painting. Alas, it must be a REALLY good pic with good lighting. Dark animals like Pepperanne are HARD to do.

If you want a pic, just send me one, remember, the higher resolution the better AND, if possible, make it a closeup like the one of Rebel!!

Great work, but be careful, you may be biting off more than you care to chew!. ..
