A surprise commission for a client of mine, this was such a nice portrait to do I was so excited to see what her owner would think. This portrait was commissioned for Lola’s owner so I decided to try and match their portraits with a similar background and I think the colours and lighting really suits them both. Such a pleasure painting these pups, I love commissions like this 💛

Sadly no longer with us, but I adored painting this gorgeous pup named Lola. The colours in her picture where so inspiring so I thought I’d try a different style of background for her to compliment her coat. Please let me know what you think 💛

Another Christmas commission I can now share, this horse was so beautiful to paint. He had so many colours in his gorgeous coat, I did have to remove a green halter and replaced the background as always but I love his pose and expression in this painting.

Honestly such a pleasure painting these three horses, all truly amazing their stories and personalities really helped create this piece. I’ve been so excited to paint this piece, then nervous and now I’m so pleased with it.

Thoroughly enjoyed painting this lady. She’s a Spinone Italiano, a very gentle and loving soul but also a fantastic hunting dog, earning the title of a Jr Hunting Champion!
