The Cats and Dogs Exhibition opens at the Ferrers Gallery, Staunton Harold, Ashby de la Zouch today and runs until Sunday the 18th of May. Here’s what I have in the show…

A Quick Nap

Java

Mutual Grooming

   
English Setter

So if you are anywhere near Ashby de la Zouch  do go and have a look at the show.

Apologies to all of you who’ve been waiting for the new work to appear. I injured my back a while ago and it’s fair to say that has slowed me down quite a bit. It also means that I must ration my time sitting at the computer because I don’t have one of those beautiful, ergonomically designed office chairs. However I have been working, (slowly and carefully Rob - honestly) and I’ll try and get the new work up here very soon.

If I’ve forgotten to do anything for anyone please do email and remind me. I’m so behind with everything that I’m likely to have forgotten something somewhere!

Another commission, this is a head and shoulders profile of Bastion Babe.

This is a 10×8 acrylic painting on canvas board.

Isn’t she beautiful? This is a 16×12 oil painting of the lovely Bastion Babe and it was a real joy to paint! This was a commission for her owners.

She looks so beautiful fast asleep on the sofa. Her coat is full of rich colour and her muzzle shines with blue highlights. She’s a beautiful Bullmastiff girl.

This is another painting of Indy, a beautiful boxer bitch.

I’m painting her in acrylics on a 16×16 inch canvas board.

And this is the finished painting.
