New Work In Pencil

I got my pencils out again recently and used my trusty labrador to practise on!

I've since completed another portrait of him and I'm working on a third as I want to put them all in a frame together. They are only 7" x 5", but I'm really pleased with them.

A Labrador's Retrieve

I've wanted to paint a labrador with a pheasant for some time. I had a local exhibition back in July so thought it would be a good time to get a painting done for that. Having received a brilliant photo to work from from a fellow labrador owner, I produced this piece of work.

I was very pleased with the result, although it didn't sell at the exhibition. That means I got to keep it instead - I do grow attached to my paintings, I know I shouldn't!

Welcome to my Arty Blog!

My dog has his blog, so thought it was time I blogged about my art!

I will show you some of my work on here, as well as any up-coming projects/exhibitions I may have.
