I love painting animal portraits especially when the models have gorgeous eyes, Toby was no exception – beautiful peepers! 🐶❤️

Farewell Magnus, you big hunk…
That’s ‘Magnus’ sold and heading off to his new home – delighted to have a sale, but I’ll sort of miss him!
I’m hoping to start a new avenue of marketing soon, just getting things in place, dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, and then I can launch it.
Magnus
Lovely hunk ‘Magnus’ is now up for sale on my storefront on Saatch Art Online and Artfinder.com – I’m only half hoping he’ll find a new home, as I’ve become quite fond of the big fella! Oil on canvas 61 x 61cm
Coco….
Just completed this commission of a Highland Cow and having used a mix of reds and blacks she resulted in a chocolatey look to her hair so I’ve temporarily christened her Coco. Bit of varnish, attach the loops and cord and off she goes to her new home 🐮🎨

Choosing a title
One of the tricky parts to creating and selling paintings is probably the simplest….choosing a title on completing the work. This latest one, an oil painting on canvas of a Highland Bull, caused a bit of a brain freeze so I asked for help via social media. This resulted in clever and well thought out suggestions.
The winning title I chose is ‘Magnus’ – a Scottish name meaning ‘Greatness’ – well suited for this big beefcake I think!
‘Isla’ – off to her new home…
This painting, one of my favourites, has just sold at the Garrion Bridges Art & Antique centre. I hope she’s settling into her new home 🐮
‘Isla’ 60x60cm SOLD
‘Ben’
New pastel painting just completed – Unison pastels on Canson Mi-Teintes paper. This fluffy hunk is heading off to my page at Saatchi Art online to see if he can find a new owner. Wish him luck! 🤓
The ‘C’ Word…
No, not that one…! It’s now 21 weeks to – dare I mention it – Christmas, so if you would like a portrait of your furry (or feathered) friend painted from your photos, why not contact me to get yours ordered? The sooner the better.
Animal portraits make a wonderful gift, either for yourself or for someone special. Prices from £50 for a small pastel on paper.
Here’s an example, this is Rocco, acrylic on canvas:-
‘Rocco’ commission
Another Biggie…
‘Isla’ 60x60cm £195
Following the sale of my big canvas (well, big for me anyway) ‘Stag In Water’, I thought I’d see if another biggie would be of interest to someone. This ‘heilan coo’ is acrylic on a 60x60cm canvas and was great fun to paint in all her shagginess!
“Isla” will be ‘hoofing it’ down to my display wall at the Garrion Bridges in the next day or two.
The Stag’s Away…
One of the largest paintings I had undertaken, has just sold. ‘Stag In Water’ was a good challenge for me and I’m thrilled that a lovely person has decided to hang it on their wall!
