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

All Change…
Following a change of mind with one of my paintings, I recently took the plunge to swap a safe sky blue colour for a bold purple (my favourite!) colour. I think it makes the subject – a hunk of English Bull Terrier – ‘pop’ forward now. I love subtle, gentle background colours, but just now and again I like to go a bit bananas! See what you think. 🤓
Open Art Exhibitions
One of the aspects of art and painting that I enjoy, is applying to take part in one or two open art exhibitions which pop up now and again on social media and various websites. My applications aren’t always successful but the hope that they might be, pushes me to “have a go”.
It’s also a useful way of looking at other artists’ paintings and to see the standard of work that’s out there. This can result in feelings of “Why do I even bother?!” or alternatively, “Oh, my stuff isn’t too bad then”.
I’ve given myself a goal of entering three exhibitions a year and if I make it through to any of them, well, you never know where it may lead!
This painting is being entered into the RGI (Royal Glasgow Institute) open art exhibition being held this Autumn. Wish me luck!
Deerhound
This is the latest addition to my stock of artwork for sale at the Garrion Bridges Art & Antiques Centre. “Olive”, the deerhound has featured on this blog before and her pastel painting is now waiting for a new owner. I decided to pop this pastel onto a pre-cut mount, rather than having it framed, to give the buyer the opportunity to select their own frame, so we’ll see if this proves a good idea or not. If so, I’ll try a few more – back to the drawing board….literally! 🤓
Untitled…
This is similar to a previous painting of mine, but I love the composition (and the model!) so decided to paint her again from a slightly different angle and a reverse/mirror image. I haven’t come up with a title yet…suggestions would be very welcome.
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.

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
