Animal Photography And Art

By SweetiePie

Animal Lover Confessional:

I love dogs, cats, birds, lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, horses, and many other animals. Of course many of the animals I love are wild and not pets, but for the purposes of this hub I am calling all of these animals my "pets" because I adore each creature. This photo gallery hub includes art and photography that I have created over the years to celebrate the animal kingdom, as it were. Sometimes it is fun just to make a cute animal picture hub, so for your viewing pleasure, here are a few of my cherished "pets".

Here is a picture of me next to a print of her favorite Scotty dog drawing. Originally this was an iron on transfer for a t-shirt, but I accidentally printed it onto the wrong side.  Rather than waste a perfectly good iron on, I framed it instead.

countrywomen,

I am glad you enjoyed some of the animal pictures :).

Triplet Mom,

Thanks, I love big cats too, so I hope to draw more soon.

G-Ma,

I hope the snow lets up for you soon. Happily in the valley we are not having snow, but up the mountains where part of my family lives they are experiences some pretty severe storms. I hope you have a Merry Christmas :).

Great photos. Our lab mix, Kiera HATES having her picture taken. She's scared of the flash (also afraid of lightening) so any photos we take must be outside.

Nice hub.

Hi Joe,

I can understand how some animals do not like to have their picture taken. My old dog Buster was quite a ham for the camera, I miss the old guy. Thanks for stopping by :).

Nice, Sweetiepie! I'm a big animal lover, myself. We've had cats, birds, fish, lizards, frogs... well, you get the idea. We are currently taking care of a sparrow that we rescued as a baby, several years ago.

I love the big cats, too. Since we can't keep them as pets, I've had a Lion, and a panther tattooed on my arms. That way I can take them with me everywhere. They're cheaper to feed that way, too! Merry Christmas Sweetie!

Merry Christmas to you rmr! I am glad you big cats are able to go everywhere with you, and yes that is much cheaper than taking car of one. Animals are so great, I just have to love them.

SweetiePie,

Thanks for sharing. I love all the big dogs. I Love Dos and my favorites are the one's with Shepherd and Husky bloodlines, stand-up ears. Looks like you too are fond of them according to all of the dates on these photos.

My favorite drawing is also the one of the cat by your paintbrushes. I would like to see a close-up of that. Good Share. C.S. Alexis

C.S. Alexis,

Dogs with Sheperd and Husky bloodlines are very beautiful. Lady dog was mostly Husky, but Buster was a mix of Husky and Boxer. We did not decide on his father, but several dogs jumped over the fence, hence the tale of getting your dogs fixed before they have pups. However, personallly I always thought Buster was a beautiful mixed breed in my humble opinion. I sure did I love all my pets, but I tend to be very obsessed with all dates, thus all the references to them. It is great how we both love pets :).

Dottie,

I so love animals too, which is one reason these are my favorite things to draw.

Starrkissed,

Yes I am very fond of the watercolor pencil drawing. I always appreciate your comments :).
