Schnauzer commission

It's been a while since I've taken on a commission, I've been busy with all the exhibitions.This was a surprise present for a 70th Birthday. He's got the maddest ears I've ever drawn on a dog! I've got a month off exhibitions, then the Xmas build up begins......

Getting ready for my next exhibition opening this Monday....

On Guard

There's nothing going on that these two don't know about! It amused me, the absolute commitment to  their duty to keep watch. I think I wouldn't take my chances with them!

On Guard w.i.p

A new painting, jut a small A4 pastel painting. I came across these two characters on a walk by the Thames near Teddington Lock. I think their owner's house is in safe hands, nothing will get past these two!

Pastel study of the Ponte Vecchio

Fnished my A4 pastel study, my aim was to capture the sunlit facades. Pastel worked well previously I have used gouache,pastel pencil, and oils for other paintings of this, but found using these soft pastels most satisfying.
