 Peppy - 'Who woke me up?'

Peppy – ‘You woke me up?’Origina

This is another portrait of my Weimarnaner, ‘Peppy’ (See others of him in Animal Portraits;   Weimaraner Pastel Pet Portrait – My dog Peppy as a pup, Weimaraner and his toy – Pastel portrait of Peppy  ). At the time I went to take the photograph he was fast asleep and looked really cute, snuggled up into a little (rather large actually) ball! As I knelt down and turned the camera on he lifted his head very sleepily as if to say, ‘You woke me up!’, ‘What now?’ But even though he looked like a grumpy old man I still decided to draw the pastel portrait to show another side of a Dog’s Life!!!

This is a portrait of a bitch from the same litter as My Peppy! With a face like that, looks like she certainly knows how to get what she wants! How could you not give in to that?!!!

This portrait was almost as hard to do as a black pet. He was so vividly red in colour on the photograph it was hard to see any definition. Thankfully he turned out just fine! A Very pleasing end result I think!

Pastel Pet Portrait of My Neighbour’s Dog

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.

Long Haired Retriever – Pastel Pet Portrait of 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 puppy - Peppy

My puppy – Peppy

This was the first picture I did of our new puppy -Peppy, when he was about six months old. He is a very well pedigree d Weimaraner, with his sister in the same litter winning shows in Ireland and his mother, Posh also highly acclaimed as a champion dog. The pastel truly made this picture spring to life with a feeling of soft, short haired fuzziness. I was really happy with it and it has always been my most favourite pet portrait ever!

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.

 I did this pet portrait sadly after the pets had passed away and only had small sections of dogs on different photographs to work from. Meaning I had to compose the portrait as seen above. The portrait now has pride of place in my friend’s home where it instils fond memories

'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.

Meg the mutt

Meg the mutt – which I called her affectionately – Sadly she died unexpectedly a few months after I did this portrait of her! I was told by the commissioner that it was the best thing he had ever had done for his Mother because of this fact. She was a lovely to draw.

A pastel drawing done for a friend of my daughter. I was very pleased with the techniques I achieved by hammering the pastel as it gave just the desired effect of fluffiness and a very true likeness of Meg. See below!

Meg for real!
