When it Comes to a Lady Artist

Recently, a picture of a graduate from the guide dogs school for the blind was displayed proudly on the walls of the school but those who worked there still maintained their stand when it comes to not favoring any single student. This particular portrait is of Jeannie the golden retriever that now belongs to a blind Denver, Colorado woman. Several years has already passed since the artist who did this portrait lost her ability to see. Because of painting, this artist was able to live through a lot of experiences including that which left her blind. When she could still see, a lot of her paintings would be on the scenes of Indian life in Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. How about now?

Thinking is a main part of her regimen prior to painting. If she did not have time to reflect, she will not be able to develop images in her head. When she started, she used pins to make image outlines but has since stopped doing so because the pins destroyed the canvas. When she paints, she no longer has to make use of these things.

To start her Jeannie painting, she made a line drawing with her trusty crayon. She makes use of a paint brush in her right hand and fills in the outline that she made. Getting the likeness of Jeannie may be impossible since she had already lost her eyesight when she painted her.

Actually, the lady that Jeannie was given to was this artist and the instructor at the school described how Jeannie looked when she was transferred to her care. A combination of golden hues with that of brown and bronze is how the instructor described Jeannie's appearance. Per given time, she only uses two to three colors of paint and to tell the pigments apart, she smells them.

The whole painting was done with a small brush except for the tail because, as she puts it, she wanted it to look proud and fluffy, like a plume, so she painted the tail using her fingers. There is no doubt that her portraits, even the one with Jeannie, looks amazing according to this artist when asked if she felt frustrated about not being able to see them. When it comes to the painting of Jeannie, she said that Jeannie growled in approval.

She knew that the portrait was nice. Even with a disability, the guide dogs school for the blind taught her how live can be lived productively. There is a big percentage of graduates who possess regular jobs. It takes $1700 per man and dog team when it comes to the training expense but in light of the fact that this school is a volunteer powered organization, no money comes from the students.
