Chocolate Labrador Bobby
I finished this portrait last weekend. It is of a lovely chocolate labrador called Bobby. The painting was 30 x 40 cm in size and it was painted with acrylics on canvas, as usual. I used two reference photographs, one for Bobby’s pose and one for the background. The background features a field where Bobby…
Chocolate Labrador Painting WIP
I have been working away on this portrait over the past week. It is almost finished, but I just wanted to post the first photo I took of the sketch. I am really loving working on this portrait. Well, besides the fact that I have my own chocolate lab, I just love the reference photo….
Woman portrait
I have finished working on this portrait last week. It is quite large in size, 50 x 60 cm, painted with acrylics on stretched canvas. The reference photograph that the client provided me with, was very detailed. My challenge with this portrait was to make it unique. I used a larger brush than usual and…
Mother and Daughter Portrait
I completed this portrait a couple of weeks ago. It was commissioned before Christmas and it is my second commission for this year. The portrait was square in size and as you can see, it is a selfie. I wasn’t sure about it when I first saw the photo, but as I started working on…
Rough Collie Dog – tinted drawing
This is the last portrait I completed in 2015. It is of a lovely rough collie called Jess. The drawing is 15 x 20 cm in size, the smallest portrait size I work in. It was drawn with coloured pencils on Fabriano paper. This portrait was given as a Christmas gift to Jess’s owner, and the client…
Cat Portrait – Phoenix
This is a portrait of a lovely black cat called Phoenix. It was painted with acrylics on canvas 25 x 35 cm in size. It was given as a Christmas present to Phoenix’s owner. It was painted from her favourite photo of him.

The painting was painted with acrylics on canvas 40 x 40 cm in size and it was given as a Christmas present to the client’s wife. She was very happy with the finished painting and wrote…
Two Bengal Cats
This portrait was finished back in December. It was a Christmas present for the client’s wife of their two bengal cats called Ben and Jerry. The painting was quite large at 40 x 60 cm. I received a pretty good reference photo, however the client felt the shadows and colouring was too strong. I used…
Cat Portrait
This portrait was finished in December and it was a Christmas present for Lucky’s owner. Lucky was a lovely black and white cat that sadly passed away. The portrait was commissioned by her owner’s boyfriend and he provided me with lots of photographs. He wasn’t happy with any of the poses, so I had to…
