This is one of my favourite paintings. I just love these two Bengals. They are so gorgeous and the position they’re curled up really makes me smile. It was such a joy to paint! I just wish I could have kept it.

Toffee and Thistle
14×11 acrylic on board
SOLD

This is a 14×11 inch acrylic painting on board. The background is made up of several layers of paint, the base colour was a warm pink with cooler lilacs over the top. As a result the background changes colour as the lighting changes, going from warm pinks to cool lilacs. Looks amazing but is very hard to photograph!

Here are a couple of close ups of the painting.

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.

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

This is a 16×12 acrylic on canvas. It’s sold.

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.

This is a 20×16 inch acrylic painting.

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….

Another bullmastiff painting, this is Liam and Truman In The Snow. I love bullmastiffs standing in the snow, there’s something about the colour of their coats against the whiter snow and the blue, lilac shadows that is so lovely to paint. These two handsome boys are father and son.

This is a 22×16 acrylic painting on stretched canvas.

A close up detail of the canvas.

This is Freddie. He is a commissioned portrait, an 18×18 inch acrylic painting on canvas. He has the most amazing eyes! :-)

A close up of the canvas…

I hope I’ve managed to capture those startling eyes.

This is an oil painting of Chet, a bullmastiff. This was a recent commission. She’s posing with a stick and has a nice half profile. I like the warm colour of her coat against the blue grey of the boards of the decking.

Here is a close up of her. She has beautiful eyes.
