Peppy times two!

Peppy times two!

This painting is of my own Weimaraner, Peppy. Both the images are of him. I wanted to do a watercolour painting of him but couldn’t decide which image to use. In the end I combined both! Lovely image but scary thought – One Peppy is quite enough. As most Weimaraner owners would probably admit, they don’t think they are dogs, I actually do think He thinks he is human! Its almost like having a baby but it never grows up!! They are a beautiful but demanding breed. See other paintings/drawings of Peppy and his litter sister, Hettie in Animal portraits

'Petit Griffon Basset Vendeen'

‘Petit Griffon Basset Vendeen’

This was a pet portrait done from a photograph of a show dog (Name of dog to be withheld for security – it won a lot of shows!!!) It was partly owned by the breeders from whom we got our Weimaraner, Peppy. In this pet portrait I decided to be loose and free with the pastel and let the image fall onto the paper rather than my normal method of blending. I quite liked the outcome and effect but I still to prefer to be more precise for portraiture, especially for commission purposes unless asked otherwise!

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!!!

Dave's Dog!

Dave’s Dog!

This pastel pet portrait of our friend, Dave’s, Springer Spaniel was done from a photograph he let me borrow in order to add to my portfolio of animal pictures. The blanket is a creation of mine which I have added to a few of my pet portraits, making them I think, more distinctively mine. Other pictures with this blanket can also be seen in Animal Portraits, they are;

Bracco Italiano Dogs – Pastel Pet Portrait,

Pastel Pet Portrait of My Neighbour’s Cat

Cat – Pastel portrait

Of course there are other pet portraits to be seen also drawn without the blanket!
