Although Colleen obviously had more photo's of Buddy which you were unaware of, I think your post gives good tips on what to do when there <i>isn't</i> many photo's. And I'm sure the exercise was good for you too. I remember when Angela was asked to do a portrait of two children and she only had one very old and very poor quality photo.

Frankly the whole post was kinda for my own amusement. Life is pretty dull out here in the boonies so I must make my fun where I am. BUT I would have loved to have more photos. I thought it kinda odd to have only 6 since Troy said you loved him dearly. I'm pretty sure Troy said thats all there was because my even doing the piece was contingent on adequate reference pics. That being said I apologize for being an ass. :) Sorry Colleen, I tend to be a bit snarky for my own amusement. Frankly the whole post was kinda for my own amusement.

Your brother only gave me a short window to supply photos and did not tell me why he wanted to see my horse when he requested the photos. Ouch. Kinda hurt, your comment about only having six photos of such a big part of my life, I actually have tons. But thanks for the work. It is a gift from your brother, sure hope he is compensating you for your time. I do appreciate your effort. There are way more than just six photos in my possession.
