Late B(l)oomer – Painted Turtles Monotype

http://sherry-latebloomer.blogspot.com/Dec 30, 2011

Painted Turtles Monotype. 4×6 inches, monotype with added watercolor. Today I did get into the studio, and ended up not painting this pair of painted turtles the way I thought I would. So I improvised and used a ratty piece of Yupo that I saved after I washed off an an unsuccessful watercolor.

Animal themed paintings can be extremely pleasurable to use when decorating. A friend recently purchased a new house and asked that I help her find a few wall hangings. As she is a huge animal lover, we decided that an animal themed room would be nice.

Although most of her new furnishings are contemporary, the animal themed paintings we found bring a sense of fun and whimsy to the room. Once we found paintings that matched her color scheme, we found that the two styles complement each other extremely well.

Another friend and his wife decided it was time to start a family and wanted to revamp the entire house. I decided to send them a gift of a painting, I happened upon which had children and animals as its theme. They were so taken with the painting they searched high and low for additional pieces from the artists collection.

One friend who happened to be an interior designer tells of a project that was a somewhat non-traditional take on animal themed artwork. Her client wanted some abstract pieces that would provide an animal-like atmosphere to her room. The pieces ultimately chosen provided not only an animal-like atmosphere but also a whimsical sense of fun–the client was ecstatic.

On the topic of abstract animal themed artwork, I was told by a fellow artist that she was once approached about producing an animal themed mural for a daycare center. The hitch was that it was to be painted entirely in the Cubist style of say a Picasso or Braque. The client was delighted with the outcome and stated that it allowed the children’s imaginations to soar.

Animal themed artwork and accessories were also put to use by a Veterinarian friend who recently opened his own clinic. He is convinced that the sense of fun and whimsy would help to put the pet owners at ease when visiting the clinic which ultimately put their pets more at ease as well.

Another friend speaks of a music teacher who teaches music and musical instruments to younger children. Her classroom is filled with paintings of animals playing different instruments. She is convinced these fun filled whimsical paintings gives the younger students a sense of confidence they would not otherwise feel when beginning to learn music.

A lucrative business for many artists is to do oil or acrylic paintings based on people’s pets. That special dog or cat or ferret can be immortalized in art!

Bottom line is I have seen animal themed paintings being used for almost every occasion and personality type. Paintings of any type of animal you can think of and even some of a more abstract nature. Animal themed paintings run the gamut of tastes and do not seem to lessen in appeal for those young or old who happened to be child-like at heart.
