Cat portrait in graphite pencil

This one of several cat portrait commissions I've got lined up - 'Al Capone', a Chartreux / British Shorthair cat. He is 11 years of age and will be drawn in graphite pencils (head study) and pastels (full body).

New horse portrait - Welsh Cob gelding

While I can't show you the cat portrait I am currently working on (it's a present to the client's colleague), I can post a scan of a new horse portrait that I started drawing a couple of days ago. It's a three year-old dark bay Welsh Cob gelding called 'Ijsbrand'. He is being drawn in pastels and this is how far I've got:

Busy, busy, busy!

Just as well I just finished the portrait of my horse... I've now got several commissions to work on and more to come: about eight cats, eight or nine horses and a dog. This will certainly keep me busy for a while! :o)

Horse montage finished!

I have finished my horse's character study.

So this is to tell my horse that I still miss him and think of him....he's in my heart always and forever!
