I wish you all a very Happy New Year 2016. I would also like to thank everybody who is following my blog, and who has commissioned a portrait with True Image Fine Art. I haven’t been blogging my latest Christmas portraits, so here is the first one. It is of a lovely collie called Beauty. I…

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…
George
This is the latest painting that was finished in my studio this week. It is of George, a lovely jack russell terrier. The portrait is painted with acrylics on stretched canvas 30 x 30cm in size. The painting was commissioned as a birthday present for George’s owner. I hope he likes it. Next up I…
Dog Portrait Painting
I have completed this portrait a few weeks ago. I posted the progress pictures and here is the final scan of the finished portrait. It is of Sassy. The portrait is 30 x 40 cm in size and the client had commissioned it as a birthday present for her mother-in-law. She was very happy with…
Two Beagles
This is a portrait of two beagles I worked on a couple of weeks ago. It was a wedding present for their owners. A few of their friends have commissioned this to go with their wedding gift. The reference photo was taken indoors, so it was quite dark. The clients wanted a landscape background, so…
Two German Shepherds
I have finished working on this portrait last week and scanned it just yesterday. I think it worked out very well. It has been a couple of weeks in the making and I took my time purposely. I don’t like to rush paintings, especially when they are larger in size. This portrait is 12 x…
Prince the Golden Labrador
I have finished working on Prince’s portrait yesterday. It was sitting on my ‘done’ shelf for a day. I wanted to make sure Prince was captured as he deserved to be. I scanned it today and adjusted the scan on the computer to match the painting. Some of the fine detail got a little lost…
Chihuahua Portrait Painting
I have finished working on Marley’s portrait yesterday, but decided to keep it on the shelf for a day to make sure it was working. I scanned it now and I think it worked out quite well. The darkness of the blanket really plays off the white in Marley’s fur. He is so cute looking…
Three Black Labradors – Pencil Portrait
I have finished this portrait earlier in the week. I was so busy in the studio with all my commissions, that I didn’t scan it straight away. Here it is though, I think it is looking quite well. I hope the client will like it. I just love labradors (well, of course, I have one…
Final Scan of Brodie and Bruar’s Portrait
Brodie and Bruar are two gorgeous black labradors whose portrait I have been working on for the past week or so. They are just so lovely and the reference photo was a little different. Looking down at the two dogs, with some stones at their paws, I think the composition works really well. This portrait…
