Another completed commission in February was this wee cutie. Thistle was painted with soft pastel and pastel pencils and measures 30cm x 40cm. Commissioned as a special birthday gift I had to wait until the exchange was complete before the reveal.

This morning our Friday art group all had lots of fun with pastels. We all worked on the same reference photo which was a beautiful Australian landscape. Although I’m used to pastels, my challenge was to keep everything loose, block in colour and avoid details. We were all lost in the deep rich colours of the outback. A great morning with lots of laughs.

February was a busy month in the studio with another few commissions. This was a very special request of this beautiful young mastiff. With a few great options of reference photos we finally decided on two and combined them into one frame. The first was this girl as a young pup. The other a more recent grown up shot. Such a beautiful and expressive young girl who was a true pleasure to paint.

A lovely commission of this little cutie. Border collie Penny with her beautiful rich red coat had me eagerly reaching for all my copper, mahogany, crimson, chocolate and golds.

I want to wish all my followers a Merry Christmas. This portrait of Belle has been quietly awaiting Christmas Day for its unveiling. A commission request from two of my childhood friends as a gift to their mother. Size is 28 x 28cm. All that fluffy fur was a new challenge and those blue, blue eyes just draw you in. She was such a pleasure to paint.

I was offered the privilege of painting these two beautiful Aussie shepherds Harper and Benson. The size is 40cm x 50cm and it’s another I am very proud to complete.

Reflecting on 2024 it was a quieter year for my artwork. Earlier in the year we suffered damage from a storm so most of the year was spent working on repairs. A couple of positives to come from this - I am working on an art studio/home office. It is nearly completed and I will post pictures once complete.
Secondly, my daughter commissioned a painting. The theme was floral and instructions were bright and colourful. We selected our reference pic and I started on my most challenging piece. A watercolour of 70cm x 50cm the largest I’ve done. This week I had it framed ready for my daughter’s wall. It’s one I am very proud of.
