I usually receive a selection of photographs of the
animal I am painting. Every care is taken to get a better than
life like image of the animal. I use a high powered magnifying
glass to pick each detail up. Over the years I have painted for
several charities including two newfoundland club's. I also have
a painting hanging in the education centre of animal asia in hong
kong. The charity rescues bears from a life of cruelty that are
being used for their bile.
