I'm Not Afraid Of That Cat

  I need to do a painting of a dog or cat for an upcoming show. If you have a really good digital photo of a pet you love, I will choose the best submission to paint and you will receive a free 12x16 limited edition print (no. 1) of the painting. I will keep the original and have it for sale at the show. This offer is good for this weekend only. 5/4/13 and 5/5/13. I can only choose one winner but this is a test promotion for possible future use. To submit a photo (or several of the same pet) use the form found at  Portraits by Jim Ziemer - Specials  and then email me the photo(s).  I will post the winning photo on Tuesday 5/7/13.

I just added an additional web page "Portraits by Jim Ziemer" . This is in addition to my Jim Ziemer Art page. Check them out and let me know what you think.

To create a good accurate painting is a lot of work. I usually learn to hate the painting before it is finished – it never comes as easy as I hope for. A portrait may take two or three months to complete, but when I am done, I know that person to their very soul. If I don’t, I have not done my job well. It is amazing what you can learn about someone by intensely studying their face.

I love to paint and create pictures. I try to do them as accurately as possible so the viewer feels what I feel and has no doubts about what the painting is all about or the mood it creates. I want to paint life as it is – not what I think it should be. 

This is a portrait in oils of my wife and dog at Drifted Beach on Jekyll Island, Ga.
