I need your picture to paint a portrait of your pet in oils on canvas

you cant paint my dogs...if i get them for free!!! im not going to pay to get a picture of my own dogs when i have a camera that is perfectly capable of doing the job just fine! you can sell it to whoever, but i want mine for free!

I don't understand...

This person is an artist - who needs photos of animals as references. He/she will be painting your animals (if he/she chooses) in ARTWORK, not just a photo. He/she will put their hard work and talent into it - certainly not something I'd expect for "free."


Just my opinion, as an artist myself, and with many friends trying to make a living with their art. I wouldn't expect someone to give me a hand-out just for using my photos are a reference.

thats awesome that your an artist, but im cheap! im not going to pay for artwork unless i cant live without it or it's some special circumstance! i do just fine with pictures off my digital camera! and what i ment was...i give them permission to use my dogs for oil painting, but i only give them permission to use them if i get a picture for myself...for free! does that make sense? hope so!

Doesn't necessarily make sense to me, as I know how it is to be an "artist" (everyone's always wanting handouts) but, I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I think Kay pays for that all too...
And she has 3 dogs

We all have bills sweetheart, including myself (I pay for everything I own including everything for my 3 dogs) and I'm sure the original poster does as well - hence the reason they try to make money selling their artwork. THAT'S my point.

HEY HEY HEY...we should make a club on people who pay for everything and their boyfriends dont help! but anyways, i gotta go to work, bye

You're welcome to use any of my pictures of my pets. I post all of my favorite pictures at http://blaix.com/kari . The only thing that I ask is that you let me know before you use any of them, you can PM me here.

I tried to email you like you asked, but you don't have that option enabled, so I've PM'd you instead. You're welcome to use any of my pictures, the links are in the PM i've sent you
