    What do you plan to do with the paintings that you make?

    Are you going to sell the paintings you don't keep? Are the paintings in your gallery for sale? Will you give them to the pets owners?

    I am not selling anything here, I just need new beautiful inspirations to paint!


    Yes, the paintings will be in my gallery, I post them for a fraction of the real price to help us with the cost of the supplies and sometimes when the owners can't afford to pay the cost and they really want it, i give it to them.
    Thank you and my best regards!


    No thank you.

    Valentina, you may not be trying to sell them here, but according to your homepage, you are selling them on ebay.   I find it a bit rude to be personally contacting members about using their dog's picture.

    maybe I should stopping painting and not bothering anybody.....

     
    No reason to give up your talent. How about if you take pictures with a camera (ask people at a park to use pictures of their dogs , or maybe try a shelter) Then paint them that way.

    Don't stop painting! Your idea sounds great. The only problem is that this message board is set up so people are not allowed to post messages for personal gain. So you would be breaking the rules by asking for pictures of our dogs and then selling those pictures, do you see what I mean?
     
    But Angel has an excellent idea. You'll probably get much better quality pictures if you find dogs in your area and photograph them yourself. And then you don't have to worry about copyright laws or anything.

    Yes, it's OK to put your website in your profile as you did...and it would be OK to invite people to take a look at it, and invite THEM to contact YOU if they would like to have a portrait done.

    IMO you really didn't do anything wrong, so don't take it personally. We get a lot of spammers on this site who sign up just to bombard us with requests to buy their products. It gets really old, because we're all just here to talk about our dogs. So when your post came up, everyone got defensive because they figured you just wanted our money.
     
    But please stick around! Do you have dogs? If so, we'd love to see some pictures. This board is a wealth of knowledge on anything dog related. There are some great people here and we'd love to have you join us.
