Update

I'm just in the process of adding the finishing touches to the last couple of Christmas commissions. I have also been able to draw and paint a few more fun portraits. You can check them out here:

Not too long now and I'll be able to show you my Christmas commissions as well!

Here's my latest watercolour "Friends?", showing a horse and a Greyhound saying hello to each other. I'm getting to really like this medium and will be experimenting with my watercolours some more during the holidays. The ref is based on a photo by Christiane Slawik, http://www.slawik.com/. I am very pleased with how this has turned out.

Horse pastel portrait finished

The pastel portrait of Irish Draught X TB mare 'Bea' is now finished. Here's a photo:

I am now working on the cat and also a charcoal dog portrait of two Bloodhounds which should be finished soon.

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)

New commission started - Boxer dog

I've put my horse's character study to one side for the moment and started my latest commission - the head study of a Boxer dog called 'Gina'. Sadly Gina passed away just before Christmas and is sorely missed. Gina will be drawn in pastels.
