Welcome to my new blog page.
I am an animal artist working in the Scottish Borders, I will be posting some of my work but will also show a stage by stage example of some of my commissions and how they develop

This is one of my very first pet portraits, a lovely little spaniel called Amber.

The medium that I generally use is hard pastel combined with pastel pencils for the fine details. This particular portrait was painted on veour paper which gives a lovely soft texture for the hair.

Amber's owner was very pleased with the final portrait.
