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.

I have adjusted the format of The Look Out, making it longer and making Shelby a bit smaller in the painting. I’ve done a fair bit of work on her coat and expression and experimented with the addition of a pair of eagles flying through the pass.

This is the finished painting. I’ve adjusted the mountains behind Shelby into a more pleasing shape and added some autumn trees in the pass.

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.

This is a new work in progress, a new bullmastiff painting called The Look Out. The model is Shelby who lives with Gail in Alaska.

In this second sketch I’ve changed the composition. I’ve made the format wider and moved Shelby away from the middle of the picture. I’ve also raised the level of the mountains on the right hand side.

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?

I have three new prints, a new German Shepherd print Max Sleeping

A new Golden Retriever print Life’s A Beach

and a new Bullmastiff print Beau

All of them can be found in the Gallery.

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.

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.
