George, Sylvie and Gemma

Here are the next stages and the finished portrait. Gemma, the red and white tabby, was a rescue cat when my clients lived overseas and unfortunately she had a very poorly eye which had to be removed. She manages perfectly well though.

Anyway I've just had an email to say that my clients are thrilled with the finished portrait.

George, Sylvie and Gemma

This is my latest commission that I'm working on. Two Burmese cats and a ginger tabby and white. Here's progress so far.

Ally

Having just completed a commission of a Maine Coon it's inspired me to do a portrait of one of my boys, Ally. It has been nice to do a portrait of a familiar subject for a change.

I've finished the Maine Coon portrait and my client is really pleased with it, so am I for that matter. I've really enjoyed this portrait.

Next it's three cats which I'll start next week and I can show progress pics of that portrait.

It's our first Wedding Anniversary on Sunday so hopefully a weekend of celebrations!!

Happy Easter everybody.

Stuff

I've spent this week working on the Maine Coon commission. I'm really pleased with it and wish I could show you progress pics but It's for a gift so has to be kept under wraps until the end of April. I've really enjoyed this commission as I absolutely love Maine Coons. It's also made a change as alot of my recent commisions have been dogs.

Looking forward to the Easter break. We've got friends visiting on Sunday so no doubt a few glasses of wine will be consumed.

Hope everybody is ok and working hard.

Multi pet portrait-Shooter, Kizzy, Brachan and Clyde.

This is a portrait I completed a while ago but couldn't post until today. It caused me a few headaches. All the pets had passed away apart from Kizzy the cat in the middle. The horse and dog ref. photos weren't good at all but I managed to get some good refs. off Flickr to help me. The other problem I had was how to position them. The horse needed to be on the left and the other cat bottom right due to the nature of the pose. I had to plan it all on paper before I started to see who would fit where best.

It's being given as a Birthday gift today, I hope she likes it.

Four dog portrait finished

I've finished the four dog portrait and my client is pleased with it. It's been a marathon project with Dad being ill and also myself. Not to worry I got there in the end.

Next its a Maine Coon which I'm really looking forward to.
