Portraits Without Fur or Feathers…..just for a change
Every so often it’s nice to have a break from doing the same thing. Although I really enjoy painting our furry and feathered friends, the two legged variety can be just as interesting and have as much character. Here are a couple of people portraits which were good fun to do. One is a face from a random photo who looks as though his day isn’t going particularly well! The other is someone a little closer to home ❤️
Phil, pastel
Sid, watercolour
Hamish is Away…
Just found out that ‘Hamish’ has sold at Garrion Bridges….another pic that I was fond of! Glad he’s gone to a good home though. Now – back to a commission of a gorgeous German Shepherd which I’m having fun working on…..or maybe a cup of tea and biccy to celebrate my sale first! ☕️🍪
Olive
Met lovely Olive on Sunday as we were leaving Ulverston, Cumbria – having been at the Carnival the day before. Think her owners said she was a cross between an Irish Wolfhound and a Deerhound? Not sure, but she has the most beautiful eyes. I’ll probably use pastels in soft ochre, greys and blues. As usual, I forgot to hand out a business card to the owners as I was concentrating more on getting some good shots of the model! Ah well.
