Sky

I've completed the Chihuahua and even though it is for a Christmas gift my client has given permission to put it on the internet as the recipient won't see it.

I've really enjoyed working on this piece.

Next it's a Lurcher.

Tikka

This is Tikka a Red Setter that I have just completed. I didn't get chance to blog the WIP's as I was working so you've got them all together with the finished portrait.

Next it's a Chihuahua which is a Christmas gift so I can't blog that one....sorry.

Harvey

This is another portrait that I did a few weeks ago which has been given as a Silver Wedding gift today. I've had a phone call, this afternoon, from the lady who received it and she thinks it's amazing....I love my job!!!

Crunchie

This is Crunchie the cat that I did a while ago but had to keep underwraps. He was given as a Birthday gift yesterday and his owner was pleased with the portrait.

Max finished

Max is finished subject to the owners approval. My client who commissioned me thinks it's stunning but I'm waiting for the owners approval now (it's a gift).

Next it's a Red Setter. I did a portrait of 'Tikka' a few years ago and her owner would like another portrait of her in a different pose. I'll hopefully start that one tomorrow.

Max

Here's another couple of progress pics. I'm hoping to finish this portrait today subject to the light as it's fading fast. I've got the daylight bulb on but it's not as good as natural light. Fingers crossed.

Max

I've been given permission, by my client, to show my next commission on my blog. This is Max a GSD/Rottie cross. He coming along quite well but it's a little slow going trying to build up all the colours in his fur. So far so good though. The main photo that I'm working from doesn't show any of his neck so I've got to use another as ref. and 'make it up' a bit as I go along.

I need to do a quick tidy up now as I've just had a call from a client who I did a portrait for a few weeks ago and she wants another so is going to call in with the refs for me to have a look at. The throws on the sofa's need straightening but they're full of snoozy cats at the mo. I'll have to get the vacuum out and then they'll soon move.
