Hi guys!
Podengo painting was a special story about which I couldn´t writte before because I was waiting for owner to get it.
When I was working (well still am) on showing my work and started painting again I looked for pictures of dogs. One was sent to me by groenendael (belgian sheepdog breeder) who also owned a podenco Chiquitta which passed away in january.
The dog looked interested to me and I made a painting (you can see it in begining of this thread if you are reading for first time). I planed for painting to stay at my home on my wall but than daughter of this breeder called me and became interested in painting to give it to her mother for birthday (For those who think it is simple to give painting away, money goes but painting stays.. so I have hard time selling them). Than I agreed and sent the painting to her, for a month I could not tell "the future owner" anything, especialy not if she would want to buy it.
Well finally time passed and here is link to letter her daughter sent me. I translated it from swedish, I cry every time I read it.. I feel soo good someone loves my work so much.

I once had a teacher, kate Russell from the royal academy of art in England. She asked us Who do you make your art for..and of course the proper answer was for yourself..but..i can't think of a better reward then to have someone genuinely love your work. Art is so much more then making money. At least to me each piece is a part of me..what i consider to be some of the best i have to give. Making someone feel like that is the best compliment an artist can get. I am happy for you Katja. I am thinking if i can save up i would like a very small piece of my Victor. It will take me awhile tho, probably Spring. I have some questions, i know you are busy but if i can i would like to ask how you learned about shipping to different countries and a few other things..i will pm you if that is ok.

Hello Katja!
Well, I love to draw, I'm not a very good painter though...My art teacher thinks I should go to university and take art, but I wanted to go to College to be A Vetrinary Assistant...I don't know, I want to do both! But I'm still in grade 11, so I have more time to think about it...I scanned a drawing of my dog if you want to take a look...I didn't do a good job of scanning though, the color was messed up on my computer so I made it too dark.
Thanks for the advice.

Seen it before you posted it.. you have talent now you only have to improve your techniques.. that is what art school does.. they teach you techniques and everything else and you would really improve. I used to watch artists on internet like you and was impressed though I will never be able to match them..
I tryed pet art thing before but my job (webdesign) took its time (add to that a family) and there was no time for painting and drawing. Now life calmed down a little and I find more time so I am trying once more.
My advice to everyone who loves drawing and painting is not to give up but to push on, draw and paint as much as possible and if art means a lot to you than go for art school. Ofcourse don't expect to be rich from art since usually artists are dead when they work is worth something.
Pet portraits ofcourse are not even close to other art in value except to the owner.Bye, Katja
