Portrait of a Yorkshire Terrier
This month has proven that I’m definitely in the wind up to the holidays, with quite a few commissions coming in. From this point on, I’ll get busier and busier until after Christmas. I’m also involved working on a wildlife new painting that’s very exciting.
This is a detail showing the work on Ella’s portrait. It’s a small painting and it takes a teeny tiny brush.
At this stage, the paint still has a translucent feeling more like watercolor than acrylic. I build up the layers of paint as I go.
I’d love some more done, our cats this time
I’d love that too. Cats are so much fun to paint as they are entirely different anatomically than dogs–which makes things interesting. Its been many years since I painted Alice and Jasper. I hope they are still well.
A lot of people do not realize how important doing the eyes well is in a painting. This is spot on. Without the glint there is no life in the painting.
I Love your work!
My first thought was get that brush away from that puppy’s eye, you could poke it. Till I realized that it was a painting.
Amazing work.
Love your work
