Fine Pet Portraits - an artist's blog

My name is Sandra Palme, I am a professional pet portrait artist based in the UK. I draw your dog, cat horse or any other pet in pastels, charcoal, coloured pencils or graphite. It is my goal to capture the pet's personality and essence as well as their looks. I know how much your pet means to you as I feel the same about mine!

Another Parson Russell Terrier pastel portrait

Riiiiiiiight, I thought I'd post my latest draft. Not that anyone actually ever reads my blog posts (apart from a couple of people every now and then maybe) but nevermind. A blog is the thing to have these days!
The new pastel dog portrait on velour paper will be of another Parson Russell Terrier - this one is very old (15 I think). I just love those huge eyes that are so typical of terriers! The pose is rather unusual but I think it'll work really well. As the dog is looking up I felt I needed to show one of his legs so that the pose would 'make sense'...I think it really does now.
I've also been spending quite a bit of time on my animal photography pages and will soon be able to let anyone who might be interested have a look. I'll post the link here asap.
