Working on this pretty bull mastiff portrait.

Lots of character in the this, but must be kept a secret for now!

Work in progress-Black Labrador portrait

This is all so far, it’s a surprise so that’s all I can show! Still some work to do yet.

Spaniels in the woods

These two working springer spaniels needed a woodland scene to sit in. There owner requested something similar to my ‘waiting in the woods’ card. It was great fun putting the two elements together.Nina Squirewww.thepastelartist.co.uk07967 736762

Terrier portrait

This is a great photo to work from, bags of character! Looking forward to starting the fence, it’s going to be a great portrait.

Hairy terriers!

This was a challenge but great fun to draw! A real cutie!

Terrier portraits are great too-

Especially when they have bags of character like this one!

It’s been a busy few months with shows and events. This week gives me a chance to finish off various portraits ready for collection. Drawing spaniel portraits is still one of my favourite past times!
