Oh dear… been a bit slack again.

A male waterbuck that I saw while I was in Africa in 2019.

Not a pet, but at least it’s a Portrait in Pastels. This Olive Baboon was one I saw whilst on my ‘African Safari’ in 2019.

Been a bit slack of late when it comes to painting. So much to do, so little time.
This is my daughter’s recently deceased dog, Cody. He was a lovely dog, but ‘Arthur’ caught up with him. His favourite pastime was chasing a skateboard around the yard. I think he went thru 2 in his lifetime- play a bit, chew a bit.... you know how it is with dogs. 😄 R.I.P. Cody.

#3... and finally Toby and Milly. This reminds me of one of those posed Victorian photos.

#2...And then there’s ‘Blossom.’ She is rather obsessed with balls ... 😉

Been somewhat busy driving lately ( volunteer driving) but finally finished. This is the first of 3 commissions done for a local lady.
This is ‘Dallas.’

Decided to try something different these last couple of weeks. Just because.... It's not how I'd do a commission, but I thought it'd be a bit of fun to experiment. Interesting to see the effects using different coloured papers - yellow and black. The former is certainly brighter. I took photos of these lions last year in Africa.

Was lucky enough to get some great photos of beautiful birds and stunning animals on my trip to Africa last year. This gorgeous boy gave me a smile with his comb-over. He was resting with his pride under a tree, during the heat of the day. The kids were entertaining themselves - mainly sleeping. One however, had found an (unfortunate) tortoise to play with. Didn't like it's chances.

My most recent portrait... a young Orangutan .

Going through my Art folder, and found a couple of old 'portraits' that I thought you might enjoy.
The photograph of the Goliath Heron is an entry in an exhibition that I entered and was a finalist. I just haven't got anywhere on my walls to put it, so it's for sale. It was professionally printed and framed with a matt. (50cms x 40cms)If you'd like to buy it, please contact me. ($60 plus postage)

It’s taken me awhile to get ‘in the mood’ but I’ve finally finished it. A little vervet that I saw on my African trip.

Again.. it’s not a PET portrait,, but I thought I’d like to try drawing an African painted dog. Hoping to get my own photos next month on my trip to Africa. 🤗 Bring on the Big 5+!! 🦒🐘🐆🦏🦓🦁
