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….

Liam And Truman In The Snow

Den — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:44:29 +0000

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.

Portrait of Chet

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.

Bonnie and Fred

This is a digital painting I created for an article. The brief was painting pets and these two show how our pets form family relationships, not just with us, but also with each other. German Shepherds are very loyal and protective dogs and Bonnie here is looking after little Fred.

If you’d like to see how it was painted look out for in next month’s Corel Painter magazine (issue 34)
With many thanks to Mary who let me use her beautiful animals as models for this piece!

Three Sleeping Angels

A small painting on paper. This is about 11 x 8 inches, mixed media on watercolour paper. These three look so comfy don’t they?

Bunny By The Lake

This is Ch. Bastion’s Buns of Steel BIS BISS, known as Bunny to her friends. Isn’t she a beauty? I painted her mother Pumpkin before Christmas too. Lynn you have beautiful dogs!

This is a 16×12 oil on canvas.

Pumpkin

This is one of the Christmas commissions. Meet Pumpkin. Any regular visitor to this site knows how much I love painting Bullmastiff’s and Pumpkin was no exception. She’s so cute and such a beautiful colour too. I loved painting her.

A close up detail….

Life’s A Beach

Isn’t he gorgeous? This is Max having a whale of a time on the beach. I wish you could hear him grunting with happiness to. Just make sure you are not too close when he shakes the sand off his coat!

This is a 20×16 inch acrylic painting on canvas board. Here’s a close up…
