Happy man

 


I feel this is my best portrait yet. Done with one finger on an iPad it has taken days  to smudge in the colours and get it as detailed as possible to be accurate and recognisable. I am really pleased with it, I have to admit. It is a tiring task yet also very invigorating as the person begins to appear out of the blank screen. Always a nerve racking process. But so rewarding in the end.

Mollie

Image
This beautiful dog was saved from immanent death in a kill shelter. She had no name. PennyPaws rescue asked for donations to help her and name her. We named her Mollie. What a wonderful privilege to name such a special dog. https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/2025/05/27/sponsor-a-pennypaws-dog-dog-of-the-day/

Freddy RIP

Image
  Poor Freddy died in Romania before he could be fostered or adopted. He was an older dog and his sad end made us sorrowful. I felt he deserved to be remembered, so tried to draw an image of him. I wish we had been able to offer him a home. I wish he had felt loved and special. This is the best I can do to honour him. https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/2023/09/19/freddy/ https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/2024/10/17/rip-poor-little-freddy/

The Little Page of Dog Promotions

Image
I am truly delighted to raise awareness of this wonderful Facebook page which highlights the plight of dogs desperately in need of foster and adoption. I am so proud they featured my picture of Dottie, a beautiful pregnant dog who was rescued on the streets of Romania and gave birth safely to her puppies in a private shelter. There are so many dogs needing loving caring homes. I really hope that the portraits I do, bring out the dog’s beauty and enable it to be seen. It’s quite amazing how drawing the pictures touch  and bring out the dog’s deeper, often hidden emotion. Hopefully they reveal something more of the dog . Drawing the dogs  brings me such a great sense of connection and enormous love for them.
