Animal Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
This project is a piece I created from a photo of the camels at the Southwick Zoo. The painting was done on a 12"x16" stretched canvas. I used a painting knife to apply a fun-textured foliage background behind the posing beasts. This makes the fine detail of the camels stand out. I used acrylics in this painting, in a realistic style. I enjoy creating custom pieces like this from your photos!

Lori Macdonald - Fine Art Acrylics
I've been painting with acrylics for 50 years. The New England region is a favorite for my land and seascape paintings, yet I gladly develop custom pieces from photographs supplied by clients. I also enjoy painting animals. My work has garnered many awards in various Art Associations in my area in Central Massachusetts as well as recognition in regional shows in New England.
In addition to my home studio, I teach classes at my studio classroom in Gardner, Massachusetts. I love to share my painting techniques with my students who are always happy and surprised with what they've created.

Dec 17, 2016I asked Lori to paint a picture of my parent's cottage as a gift to them. The photos I sent for her to work from weren't very good at showing the details of what I wanted captured. Lori asked questions and was able to visualize exactly what I needed and the painting came out perfectly! She kept me updated with progress and shipped it more than a week earlier than when I requested it by. She's a wonderful, professional artist.
