This is Sister standing in the river. I love the contrast of colours in her coat and the river. Looks like a great place to be.

Here’s my latest painting, Laughing Doberman. She’s a beautiful red doberman bitch with loads of character and I loved painting her.

The original photo of her was taken by Cia Lindroth who is a truly gifted photographer of animals. See her work on her web site www.cialindroth.se. I was thrilled when she gave me permission to use her photo as a reference for a painting. Thank you Cia!

And here’s a close up of the canvas….

Here’s my latest painting, Tilly, a pretty English Cocker Spaniel. Painted in acrylics on paper, I’ve tried to capture her lively personality and great expression.
