Meet Dizzie

This is a pastel portrait of Dizzie a beautiful Basset Hound.

Don't let that angelic expression fool you though ... this little girl can be naughtiness personified :-)

Apologies if the image is a little fuzzy but the original photo of Dizzie - taken before it was framed - has disappeared into the depths of 'computerworld' ... this is one I've just taken of the framed painting which is now behind glass so it's been difficult to avoid reflections etc. but I hope you like it.

Bobby the Border Terrier

Bobby the Border Terrier is one of the biggest canine personalities I've had the pleasure to meet.

This is a pastel portrait of Bobby - a super little dog - who now chases rabbits in heaven.

Sorry the portrait looks a bit uneven ... it is one of several photographs I took and couldn't seem to get any of them straight!

Nevis - Weimeraner Portrait

This is a pastel portrait of Nevis, a lovely rescued Weimeraner, and it was done as a surprise wedding gift.

I took photographs of Nevis on the day Nessa and Carl (the bride and groom) called on us with their wedding invitation and to introduce Nevis to us.

This photo shows the finished portrait; double mounted and shrink wrapped. It was signed and dated with the date of their wedding day to make it extra special....and was a huge success :-)
