Photo To Oil
If a picture tells a thousand words, a painting tells the same story with better vocabulary. There’s something about a painting’s color scheme and brushstroke configuration that makes it more interesting for the eye. This is especially true when the painting has a photorealistic quality. The mind can’t help but wonder whether it’s ingesting photography or art.
The truth is, both have been combined via technological processes and professional acumen into something more than either. A practice that has really caught on which uses this marriage of artistry and photography involves turning pictures of pets into portraits.
What happens is clients will send a given agency their favorite pet photos, and professional artists turn those photos into high-quality oil paintings on canvas. They’re usually larger finished products than the photographs too, which means they’re easier to see and can represent an artistic art-piece which ties a room together.
Something also possible with photo-to-oil-painting transitions is the mixing and matching of photos. You can take the head of your pet and put it on your shoulders, or vice versa. Since a professional artist is accomplishing the switch, it can be made to look almost natural—at least, more natural than many photoshopped solutions.
Memorializing Your Four-Footed Family Members
Pets put up with a lot. They are there when we are sick, they are there when we are sad and feeling so low we need a dose of Optimind to keep us on track. Our happiness is communicated on an almost subconscious level, and pets will jump around with joy transmitted such that they themselves don’t understand why they’re cavorting as they do.
Cats at Christmas in the wrapping and pups happy to see their masters after work have a kind of crazy energy to them which informs their actions. They do things we’ll laugh at again years later. But the sad thing about pets is that their “expiration date”, as it were, is so much shorter than that of people.
Some folks can’t stand to have an emotional attachment to animals because they don’t live that long. They look at dogs and cats as tragedies waiting to happen. The sad thing is, they’re missing out on some of the most meaningful experiences people can have.
Pets have a kind of unconditional love that is completely unique. Much of this comes from animal perceptions of time. Animals have a different level of consciousness than people do. When they see those who take care of them, they don’t have any memory of past good or bad, just a sort of general feeling of adoration.
That adoration has translated to heroic acts at times. Even cats are known to save the humans with whom they’ve formed an attachment—though people are more familiar with the “Timmy’s down the well!” stereotype associated with popular pooches like Lassie.
There are reasons to memorialize these four-footed family members which go beyond simple aesthetic. Sometimes, you want to remember an animal that was truly a remarkable personality because, beyond their cute antics and unconditional love, every animal has its own unique personality, and that itself deserves memorialization.
