Molly, Milly, Mandy and Poppy finished

I've finished the four Flat Coated retrievers. It's not photographed as well as I would have liked as the tongues have bleached a bit, but it's the best I could do with the lighting conditions. It is for a gift but my client has said I can put it on the internet as it won't be seen. My client, who commissioned the piece, is thrilled with it. I hope it gets the same reaction from the owner of the dogs.

Another four subject portrait next which is also a surprise present so no blogging progress pics I'm afraid.

Four dog portrait

I've finished the first dog on the four dog portrait. I've made a start on the second but have now got a blinding headache so I think I'll have to call it a day. There's always housework to do instead I suppose :-((

1947 Dodge finished

Here's Dolly finished. I'm really pleased with the finished portrait. My client has asked me to do another classic car portrait. This time it's a 1950 Chrysler Coupe. Anyway it's back to doggies for the next portrait. Unfortunately I can't put it on the blog as it's for a surprise gift.

1947 Dodge

I've nearly finished 'Dolly', about another hour to go but I'll have to finish her tomorrow as the light has faded now.

1947 Dodge

I've done another couple of hours on the Dodge today. My client is really pleased with her so far and to be honest so am I. I had worried about completing this portrait but now I've got into my stride I'm really enjoying it. I'm now getting more of a 'feel' for the shape and lines. Hopefully when I come to photograph the finished portrait the light will be better so that the background doesn't look so grey.

1947 Dodge

I've managed to finish the bumper area today and I'm hoping to get the front wheel and paintwork above it completed tomorrow.
