congratulations on the sale of your painting bettyann. Like you Im an equine artist and always find it hard to find good reference photos that show detail. so if others dont mind Id like so save some of the photos here for reference for future paintings. which will be for sale

hi Catherin ...there are many of us out here, artists of all kinds, that really need these kind of references...and as surely as we hope no one copies and uses our work...i am sure the photographers of these incredible animals feel the same...this is why i really try to use only what is approved...
my adivce? write to the owners/copyright owners, and simply ask to use the photo you are interested in...asking for all the use for all the photos is a bit too much of asking for ~blanket permission~....much easier for them and you if you are specific.....if they grant blanket permission thats another story! you have found a gem, a fountain of references that are impeccable for detail...and maybe try to give a lil bit back....~wink~

so? where can i view some of your work? i would love to view em!

I agree its very important to gain permission for photographers for the use of their photographs in our work. there are a lot of beautiful photos out there and Im sure lots of artists get inspired by them.

check out the barnmice store you'll see some of my prints in their :)

Love what you have done so far, unfortunately I dont have an Andulusian or one even close but I would be happy to send something of a paint mare I have for a future reference for you. Just email me @ skymark_@hotmail.com

hi Catherine....maybe i can help with manipulating the photo a bit too, do you want me to try?
you can send it to my email:
bal@bettyannlemist.com
and i would delete the copy of the photo after i tried to pull up more detail for you...?
i am not sure if this helps:
