This is a painting of Molly, the beautiful springer spaniel whose portrait I worked on before Christmas. I was so busy, I haven’t been updating the blog, so I will try and catch up over the next few weeks. I worked on all sorts of commissions from dog portraits to people portraits, drawings and paintings…

Polly’s Portrait
This is a drawing I worked on a few weeks ago. It was one of two dog portraits for the same client from county Wicklow. Polly has sadly passed away a short time ago and her portrait is being given to her owner as a birthday present. The drawing was 20 x 25 cm in…
Three dogs portrait
I completed this portrait a week ago for a client in Dublin. It was a wedding present for the clients’ neighbours and friends, who own the three dogs pictured in the painting. The cute beagle in the back belongs to the clients. They thought it would be lovely to have him there since he is…

Springer Spaniel Aidan – portrait in progress
I have been progressing work on Aidan’s portrait. I had to put it aside as I had a lovely commission of a pencil portrait of a yorkshire terrier. I will post scan of the finished drawing soon. I have now started detailing Aidan’s face – eyes and nose. I still need to adjust the colour…
