Does anyone know a website that has prints of roller pigeons? I have found homers and other breeds, but I haven't been able to find any of our breed.
OR does anyone one know an artist who may have some paintings or prints of rollers?

Alan Turcotte who frequents this forum does a lot of pigeon portrait type paintings. Nice work too.

HI...My name is Christine Gansberger, 2376 Mt. Lebanon Church Rd, Alvaton KY 42122, 270 846-2416, cgansberger@surfbest.net. I am a retired commercial illustrator. I've always done commissioned portraits of horses & cowboys. Sold a few sheep & cow paintings. I've painted a few chickens too. I've never painted a pigeon. Had rollers as a kid and just got a couple again...new to the game. If you send me a good, clear 8"x10" color high gloss photo, I INSIST that the bird = FULL FRAME!!! (I don't need to see little bird in BIG BLUE SKY), I'll do an oil, about 9" x 12" - for $95. I'm a TOTALLY realistic painter and an ABSOLUTE PERFECTIONIST for details!! Each time you look at my painting...you'll say to yourself... THAT'S MY BIRD!!!! ...and you'll enjoy your painting for many years to come.
