An artist friend forwarded it ...Great post, James!<br /><br />An artist friend forwarded it to me--as I am now painting animal portraits--and I'm happy to say this has not yet happened to me! <br /><br />This is a bit off-topic, but I wanted to (very belatedly) thank you for the lovely drawing you did for me in your Journey to Chandara book several years ago. I don't know if you remember, but we had lunch together 3 or 4 years ago at the Denver SCBWI conference and got to talking about odd musical instruments (I play the hammered dulcimer and your son had just decided to go busking around Europe playing the button accordion)...I really enjoyed our conversation, but we both had to dash off after lunch and I ran away without even realizing that you had put a lovely little T-Rex PLAYING THE HAMMERED DULCIMER in the front of my book! <br /><br />So thanks very much--I had never acknowledged how special that was to me!Ravay Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08999774892901551839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-62878343914557738402012-07-20T01:35:48.952-04:002012-07-20T01:35:48.952-04:00K- yes, I do.

I try not to get superstitious thinking about it.<br /><br />Hey, Joshua -- been a long time since you ran across me painting in that rainstorm in Black Diamond! Hope you're well, and thank for picking up the book.<br /><br />Poet, Rich, and Janet, yes, it's too bad Landseer isn't better known these days. To think he did all this before the era of photography boggles the mind.<br /><br />Tom, we all owe Mr. Ormond a huge debt of gratitude for his scholarship. <br /><br />Leif, I love the stories (and pictures) you tell on the Today's Inspiration blog.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-57670500995373475172012-07-19T23:58:26.335-04:002012-07-19T23:58:26.335-04:00That's so sad.

Some how I'm afraid that if I paint a portrait, that the pet would be on its way to the rainbow bridge the next day. I know its an irrational fear but you know?K_tigresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435524324162761134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-91989512324616379952012-07-19T14:07:57.993-04:002012-07-19T14:07:57.993-04:00Good old dog;

One of my favorites is "Alexander and Diogenes" in which two dogs represent the fabled meeting between the Greek ruler and the philosopher. It's said that Landseer was inspired to make the painting upon encountering two dogs in the street, one looking at the other from inside a barrel. It's also reported that the painting was the inspiration for the anthropomorphic dogs in Disney's "Lady and the Tramp."Janet Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211855672690293121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-22111367248580973462012-07-19T09:49:32.846-04:002012-07-19T09:49:32.846-04:00Another gem of a post (and painting), James!

I knew of Ormond's works on Sargent, but didn't know of his work beyond JSS. I'll have to see what other treasures I can discover through him.
