My beloved dog
I love to draw Dogs, especially for people who have lost their beloved companion, as a memory to keep. I also like to draw self-portraits to express my feelings around disability and the tremendous suffering I endure continuously. My earlier work concerned expression of emotion. Initially I worked with watercolour and drew flowers, when holding a pastel was too difficult, due to muscle weakness and lack of sensation.
This picture was drawn as a pastel outline on a black pad then imported into a drawing programme on my iPad so I could continue to complete it as I was unable to continue to physically use pastels at the time . It was quite a lot of effort using a virtual pastel to work on the image.
This is my beautiful Corgi who died last year after struggling with a Degenerative Disorder. Heartbroken, I wanted to make a beautiful picture of him. I think I achieved that.
