Managed to get nearly a full day in my studio today - a real rarity! Plus I got to have some snuggles with spaniel Otis when he collected his portrait (with his owner of course!). Lots of progress on beautiful Ziggy today - I love his amazing topknot 😍 #cocker #spaniel #fineart #petportrait

Here is the start of my next portrait - this gorgeous boy is Ziggy! Another beautiful cocker spaniel. He has the most amazing topknot which I’m looking forward to painting tomorrow! #cocker #spaniel #dogs #petportrait #fineart

Here he is! Gorgeous cocker spaniel, Otis, is all finished. I absolutely loved working on this super handsome boy and all that leatherwork. I’m looking forward to meeting Otis in person when he comes to collect his portrait! #cocker #spaniel #fineart #petportrait

A year ago today I finished working on this lovely workshop piece of Meg the cow! Thank you to Pam Fretwell (marplemoos) for the wonderful reference! The original of lovely Meg has now sold - but I still have greeting cards available on my website! #artist #cows #throwback #fineart

Still enjoying working on gorgeous cocker spaniel, Otis! I am really enjoying Otis and his gorgeous sleepy face. This week really has been a week - and I’m looking forward to a day off tomorrow then back to working on this lovely boy on Sunday. #cockerspaniel #petportrait #dogs #fineart

I am working on gorgeous cocker spaniel, Otis, today - so I thought I would share a few of the gorgeous cockers I have drawn over the last few years! Always such wonderful dogs to draw and paint! #petportrait #fineart #spaniel #cocker

Here is a rare photo of Scott (aka Mr Megan Elizabeth - Artist 😂). We had an early Valentine’s Day out today at #chesterzoo to get some inspiration and references - a really wonderful day out! #artist #zoo #zootrip

Following on from yesterday’s post about beautiful Russian blue, Jasper - here is Jasper’s portrait all framed up and in situ with Jasper’s owner. I think it looks fabulous on that orange wall! #artist #fineart #petportrait #cats

Today I am sharing a #throwback to this time last year when I had just finished this absolutely gorgeous Russian Blue, Jasper! Such a gorgeous face and such a different fur texture to drawing dogs! #cats #petportrait #russianblue

More progress on beautiful Otis. I’m so enjoying working on this gorgeous boy. I’m keeping the back of the leather chair out of focus and blurry (as it is in the reference photo) which is challenging but I’m so pleased with this so far! #spaniel #petportrait #fineart #dogs

I can’t believe it is time to start thinking about this year’s #sketchforsurvival entry! I think I have chosen the subject - I wonder if you can guess?! Here are a couple of clues: it’s a primate; I am having a trip to Chester Zoo next week to see them in person… #wildlifeart #artist #wildlife

Yesterday I started two absolutely gorgeous portraits of two absolutely gorgeous cocker spaniels! This lovely boy is Otis and I’m really loving capturing his sleepy expression as he rests his head on the arm of this chair. #cockerspaniel #dogs #fineart #petportrait

Amazingly I still have this wonderful orangutan looking for a new home! This piece is ‘Harapan’ (which means ‘Hope’ in Malay) and is my first piece raising funds for Wild Welfare. All of the proceeds of the sale of the original will be donated directly to the charity! #charity #orangutan #fineart

More work on gorgeous little Martha! This portrait will be heading across the pond to the US once it’s finished. I think she has the sweetest little face and so much personality! #petportrait #fineart #dogs #Chihuahua

I’m struggling today and really missing my girl 😢. Hopefully there will be the pitter patter of little paws soon and it really can’t come soon enough - the house feels so empty at the moment.

Dark photo but here’s the start of my next portrait! This lovely dog is Martha who is sadly no longer with us. I have just one reference photo to work from so this portrait will be a real challenge. Keep an eye out for updates! #petportrait #fineart #dogs #rainbowbridge

I have been busy today delivering the gorgeous husky portrait and meeting beautiful Mya too! Here is a throwback to two years ago when I was working on gorgeous little pug, Dino! Isn’t he just adorable - I do love a wrinkly face 🥰 #pugs #dogs #fineart #petportraits

Here it is! The final portrait of the ‘Three M’s’! This is lovely Millie, Mya and Meeka - a gorgeous trio of huskies from over the years. I absolutely loved painting them! #huskies #dogs #fineart #petportrait

Here is gorgeous Meeka all finished! Meeka is the second in this triple portrait of these beautiful huskies! Next is the last of the ‘three M’s’ - Millie! #huskies #dogs #fineart #petportrait

Phone cameras have come on such a long way - but they still can never quite capture a portrait properly! In real life beautiful Meeka’s fur is so soft in this portrait but my phone just doesn’t show it! I wish I could show everyone my portraits each time in real life 🥰! #artist #pastels #fineart

Here are all of the wonderful colours that went into drawing Mya the husky. Certainly fewer pencils than when I use coloured pencil - probably because I don’t have as many pastel pencils to choose from! #pastel #fineart #artist #petportrait

Here is beautiful husky, Mya, all finished! She is the first of three beautiful huskies in this portrait. Next I’ll be working on Meeka - a very similar looking husky. #husky #dogs #petportrait #fineart #pastel

As well as commissioned portraits I also love to create original artworks for galleries and exhibitions across the UK! Many of these I then go on to create fine art prints from. Here are the prints I currently have available on my website - please do have a look! #fineart #prints #giclee #artist

We have very much been snowed in today with over a foot of snow! So had a productive day of doing my tax return - the life of an artist isn’t always this glamorous 😂! I hope everyone is staying safe in the weather if you are in the UK! #snow #snowday #artist #artistlife

Here I am with my recent portrait of beautiful Renee. This shows the size of her portrait and really shows how you can get a lot of detail into a relatively small portrait. #equestrian #portrait #horses #fineart

Here is the finished portrait of beautiful Renee. I loved drawing this beautiful mare with all the gorgeous colours and shine in her coat. So sad she’s no longer with us but I do hope the owner gets some comfort from her portrait. #equestrian #horses #memorial #portrait #fineart

Nearly finished here with this portrait of beautiful Appaloosa cross, Renee - very sadly no longer with us. It is always emotional to draw a memorial portrait but lovely Renee was only a young horse which makes it more poignant. #equestrian #fineart #horses #memorial #appaloosa

As I’m preparing to start back to work after my Christmas break I thought I would share this lovely pair which I actually worked on over Christmas two years ago! This is gorgeous Flynn and Jasper. #throwback #petportrait #fineart #lurcher

More progress on beautiful Renee - sadly no longer with us. Such a beautiful horse to draw with so many wonderful colours in her coat. You may remember my post a little while ago where I shared all the pencils I had used - with lots of purples and blues. You can really see the purple tones here.
