Murray and Floss

Den — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:39:21 +0000

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. :-)

Cyber and Sounion

Den — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 23:12:25 +0000

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.

Lili Mei – A Beautiful Siamese Cat

Den — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 17:26:38 +0000

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.

This is a 20×16 inch acrylic painting.

Mitzy and Smudge

Den — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 16:05:38 +0000

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!

The Chase

Den — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 10:24:22 +0000

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.
