Deb’s Dog

This dog has a liking for chunks of wood rather than soft toys! I was very pleased with the soft fuzzy pastel effect on the dogs face and head, it reminded me of my first dog, Sandy, a Golden Labrador I had as a child.

Dave's Dogs

Dave’s Dogs

Dave who is a friend and former schoolmate of my husband was so excited when he got his two new dogs. They were sisters from the same litter. After some sisterly rivalry they settled down ‘perfectly’. Kindly, he sent some photographs of them for me to work from and add to my portfolio of pet portraits.

Below is the second portrait I did of them!

Pastel Pet Portrait of My Neighbour’s Dog

Spike

Spike

This pastel portrait of my Neighbour’s dog Spike was done at the same time as the Cat portrait Tash-ti (See Tash-ti in Animal Portraits too). Drawing a Black animal always seems more challenging to define its detailing than other coloured pets. This was also made more challenging by the fact I only had an old photograph in black and white to work from.

Molly

Molly

Whilst drawing this portrait of Molly I was quite aware that her face on the photograph is quite twisted, around the muzzle and forehead region, and I had to resist the temptation to ‘straighten’ her features. Firstly had I done so, it would therefore NOT have been a true representation of Molly, and secondly, THE very reason Molly was bought by her owners as a pup was the fact they felt drawn to her because of her slightly sad disposition in the features of her face. Not only were Molly’s owners pleased with the portrait, they were literally overcome with emotion as they think she is just perfect!

My Friend's Dog - Poppy

My Friend’s Dog – Poppy

I am always on the lookout to broaden my portfolio with new pet portraits. Once again I used one of my favourite mediums – pastel, to create a simple soft textured animal likeness. Poppy proved to be a lovely subject. I gave my friend the portrait as a present for her encouragement in showing me basic patchwork techniques.

'He's being a baby again!'

‘He’s being a baby again!’

This is a portrait of my dog Peppy. with his favourite toy! It is one of a series of pastel pictures I have done of him over the years. Every time he suckles on his dog we say, ‘He’s being a baby again!’ to which he gives us the look you see above. He also gets and incredible ‘pinkness’ to him around the muzzle and eyes when he is tired or comforted.
