Shona
My sister's Scottie, Shona recently died and as I hadn't painted her since she was a puppy, she commissioned this memorial portrait. As you can see, her legs became quite twisted from arthritis. Visit my tutorials page to see how I created this painting.
Shona
Shona was my sister's Scottie and this portrait was painted when she was still a fairly small puppy.
Jake
This spaniel portrait was commissioned by a professor I worked with when at the University as a birthday present for his wife. He was so thrilled with it that he paid me double what I had requested. Money aside, it is always a great honour and pleasure that my paintings can mean so much to someone.
Wrigley
Wrigley is the most patterned of all my brother's Chinese Crested and needs regular moisturising and baths.
Toby
A portrait of my mother's friend's dog, a deerhound cross with a lovely nature.
A Drop of Brandy
I met the model for this painting at a steam fair. "Moonshine Maggie" was happy to pose for me once she had finished licking me to death.
Rustibee
This handsome boxer dog went by the grand name of Rustibee Looking Back Marbleton Texas. He was owned by champion breeder, Mary Hambleton, who was kind enough to lend me a photo with which to produce this portrait.
