Wheelhouse Dogs

Here is the finished watercolour painting which has gone to get mounted before delivery to the client. 

Unfortunately this will be the last commission on my easel for at least two months due to the house move, but in our new place I will have my own dedicated art room with the addition of Woden and Thor the degus and Bebs the rat in one corner.  I can see that not much painting will getting done when they join me in my art haven!

Pepe le Peu

Hi there, here is my 'secret' commission, which is no longer a secret as it was a Christmas present for a client's husband.  I'm really pleased as I was told the recipient loved it.

Bulfinch

I have completed the 'secret' pet portrait, so inbetween commissions I sketched this little male bulfinch in graphite pencil with hightlights of coloured pencil.

Lady Blue

I have started another painting of Jemima reclining on a blue cushion, and I thought I'd give you a sneak preview of how it is coming along.  However, she will have to go on the backburner for a little while as I have a secret commission to undertake which I will eventually be able to post here when the recipient recieves it as a gift.
