Another Raffle winner

I am on half term this coming week and plan to finish a watercolour of this fine looking doggie.
Sammy
As you can see his owner sent a lovely clear photo and I am looking forward to working with it.
He is the raffle winner from the Saving Rare Breeds Summer Raffle. Do pop over and give them your support.

Meet Archie

This is the second portrait which has now arrived with it's owner so I can show a photo.


This is Archie and he is a very handsome chap.


I did a watercolour and a pencil sketch.

Marsha loved them and I have to say he was a dream to do as she had sent me such clear photographs which always helps but I understand when this is not possible.

One gone, another off tomorrow

I posted Judy's pet portrait a few weeks ago and she very kindly telephoned me from the USA today to say she had received it and was pleased with it.
Maggie


Phew...that's a relief!

I have started!

Yes I managed to sit down and start the two paintings I have been trying to do for months. One is for Judy of her lovely Border Collie, Maggie.

The workroom is ready to work in!

The other is for Marsha, of her handsome dog Archie.

Nearly there!

My new workroom is almost ready.
This means that I will be able to get my things out of storage and get on with some paintings. I have two lovely dogs lined up ready to paint.
They have very patient owners!

Normal service will be resumed shortly!!
