So honoured to have been asked to draw this cheeky lady, she was a family horse but loved by everyone, sadly no longer with us so this memorial portrait brought a tear to her owners eye. I fell in love with the lighting in this photo and really wanted to capture that in my painting

“Woodrow, Rooster & Tex”

Recently finished this painting and soon it’ll be off to its new home in the states. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed painting these three guys this was so challenging for me but I’ve learnt so much from this piece.

Competition winner Haley won the giveaway. I asked here to send me some more pictures and she sent some truly beautiful pictures of Jade the Corgi. I felt inspired by the photos she sent and I am very pleased with the results. This was an absolute joy to paint and I hope Haley is pleased with the results.

My second acrylic painting and I’m fast falling in love with this medium. This is my first miniature acrylic painting sized at about 2×2.7 inches.
Part 2/2 of a commission, the first part was last weeks A4 painting. Brought out the pan watercolours for this one and initially hit a bit of a bump but got there in the end, sized at about 1.6×2.2inches miniature watercolour painting.

BayInspired by a beautiful Oldenburger horse portrait this Bay horse is now one of my favourite pieces, painted in traditional Acrylic I love it and hope you will to. This is actually my first acrylic painting! I’ve tried this medium a few times but never clicked with it, I tried again recently and I’ve finally got the hang of it in fact I think I now love it!

This portrait is one that is so important to me I’ve had this incredible pup over 7 years and its about time she had her own portrait that really represented her. This is the first portrait I’ve ever done in this style so its extra special!
