Raven

A3, Acrylics on Board

Admittedly, not a pet but I wanted to show a looser style of painting. After visiting the Tower of London recently I was inspired to paint one of these guys.

Molly with Yellow Flowers

Oil on board, A3.

My Auntie and Uncle's cat, Molly. The background is entirely made up. In the original photo she is sitting on someone's lap.

Christmas present for my friend of her pug, Stanley.

Blue

Blue, 20 x 25 cm (estimate), oil on board

Christmas present for my friend. It was a challenge to paint my first ever bird...and his reflection!

Dogs in the Snow

'Dogs in the Snow' A3 oil on board

 Commission for my neighbours. It will be a Christmas present for their Gran. I hope she likes it as much as they did!

Tia

'Tia' A3, Oil on board

Commission for my Auntie of one of the family cats, Tia. She is a beautiful cat, I hope I did her justice.

'Tia' original photograph

 I thought it might be interesting to show the original photo. In the painting I made a few changes, you may notice the leaves are not 100% accurate because I am not crazy enough to paint them so, but I do hope they are realistic enough. I also widened Tia's pupils as painting them as they are in the photo looked very strange.

The colours of the painting are also more like the original photo, I just haven't got the hang of photographing paintings yet. For example her fur is less red and the sky is a much paler blue.
