Austin

Image
 This is Austin, a 7 month old puppy. He looks so sweet he melted our hearts so I felt compelled to draw him. It gets harder and harder to do this with poor vision and eye issues. It lifts me up when I achieve it. Hoping he finds a loving home. He is in the UK in foster at the moment. You can see more about him here: https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/?s=Austin

A Dream Of Home, a video and song accompaniment.

Image
So happy to have done these one finger drawings for Greg’s new video, reusing awareness of how sad it us that dogs  are rescued and left behind in the cold bitter winter while other companions move on and find a home.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-8gMhD9Yy0

BILLY, A DOG IN NEED OF LOVE

Image
  https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/?s=Billy I was touched by Billy’s plight, needing a warm home especially as the brutal winter comes in. It took me ages to draw him. My eye continues to make it harder. I hope do much that he finds the live he deserves.

Edward

Image
  Edward was rescued from a brutal kill shelter earlier this year, just in time. This gorgeous boy is looking for a home. It was my joy to try and capture something of his loveliness. It takes many hours over many days and much effort to achieve, with great patience on my part.  I like the dog to look as life-like as possible. It is hard with poor sight and only one finger working. I hope it does him proud. You can see more about him here: https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/2025/08/28/edward/ . We hope so much he finds a loving home.

Nellie

Image
Poor Nellie has a sad story. She is still patiently waiting for a home here. My husband, moved by her story asked me to draw her. It is a huge challenge to get the markings right enoug, with my coordination so poor and my eye so blurry. Each picture takes many hours and days with my very limited ability. I hope the picture foes her justice. I hope she finds someone to love her. You can read her story and see more photos and video here. https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/?s=Nellie

Corgi longing

Image
 My longing for a corgi never really leaves. But is it a new one or an old one, no longer here and a life no longer possible?

Dahlia

Image
  This is a  large bold cream dahlia that grows in our garden by my window.  The challenge of doing a cream flower is to get enough contrast in colours between the petals so it stands out.
