Murray and Floss in the garden. Two good looking dogs, a Sheltie and  a little Japanese Spitz. Floss was quite a challenge to paint being all white.

Murray had lots of colour in his coat.

Tigua and his friend the duck. Hot summer days are meant for chilling out with friends, even if they are garden ornaments. :-)

This is Muscat. A pretty Tonkinese. Doesn’t she have the most amazing eyes?

These two beautiful Siamese cats belong to Gill Barnes. I painted them sleeping together on silk cushions. The photos suffer a little bit from using flash, but it’s been so dark recently that its impossible to get good photos without it. But hopefully you’ll be able to see how beautiful these two boys are.

Here are close up details of the painting.

This lovely lady is Lili Mei. And yes, she really was sitting in a plate. She is quite a character and we included the bowl of nectarines in the painting because she loved nectarines.

This was a wonderful painting to do. I loved the colours in her coat, the tortie markings in her points and the warm creaminess of her fur. I wanted to capture the warm sun coming in through the window. With soft yellows, warm greens and lilacs, her coat really came to life.

I also had fun with the flowers, using lots of thick, juicy paint to create the flower forms.

One of the Christmas commissions, this is Mitzy and Smudge relaxing on pink and burgundy cushions. Lots of fabulous colour in the painting, the delicious pinks and reds in the background and blues, greens and reds in their fur too.

It was hard to get a good photo of this painting, it’s so dark outside and of course the flash bounces off the paint!

I loved painting these two Labradoodles playing on the beach. The expressions on their faces as Lucee races off with the ball and Rusty chases her across the sand. They are really having fun!

Here are a couple of close ups of the canvas.

This is Tom and his young friend Cherry. Two beautiful Siamese cats.

This is a recent commission, painted in acrylic on paper.

These two Siamese tabby points were wonderful to paint. I loved doing Billy and Millie. I kept their fur warm in colour and set them against a lilac backdrop that compliments their coats. I wanted to give this painting a feeling of warmth and affection. This is a 20×16 acrylic painting on canvas.

The star of the show is Millie with those lovely blue eyes! Here’s a close up of Millie.

This recent commission of Justin was a lot of fun to paint. He’s a good looking Siamese cat and standing in front of the flowers  adds another colourful dimension to the portrait.

This is a portrait of Prince, a chocolate lab. I really enjoyed painting him and hope to do another painting of him soon. This painting is a 20×16 acrylic on canvas.

Here’s the painting in progress….

And finally, the finished painting….

A couple of details….

This was a commission to paint Naomi, a black swan and her court of ducks on their home pond.

It’s a large painting, a 24×16 oil painting on stretched canvas.

In the background the household cats sit in the sun and watch the birds swim by.
