I painted this Border Collie dog for upcoming markets. Small oil painting on canvas 20 x 20 cm
I really enjoyed the blue highlights and depicting the flow of the fur.

I loved working on this commissioned pencil drawing of a Greyhound called Tanner. He first came to my attention at The Sherboure Artisan Market last year, but it wasn't until March this year that I obtained the reference photos and was able to start work.
I am pleased to say it was worth the wait for both me and the client

I really enjoyed painting these lovely cats. This was a commissioned painting and I am very grateful for the opportunity to capture them.
Sadly they are no longer with us but hopefully the painting will bring some joy to their owner.

It's been a while since I posted. It's been a busy time as my wife had a hip replacement and my normal work place is closing down.
Thankfully these are coming to an end and I will be blessed with much more time for painting.
In the mean time here is one of my early oil paintings.
A lovely commissioned work.
