I can't paint realistic animals and I would be more than happy to turn this discussion over to anyone that can. Think about it. I started this discussion because I thought it was needed and I might learn something!

These oil painting are borrowed from my friend Karen Lathan. She's a member of our community and she and her 2 daughters are among the top wildlife painters in the world. Plus they're members of wildlife painters associations around the world. Her website is a must see. Just google Karen Latham and you will find it.
To see these paintings in a larger size (And they even look more real) go to members and type in Karen Latham

Yes my friends these are not photos, They really are oil paintings
