Studies and Practice Work

MANGO: My first official commission, Mango is near and dear to my heart as the one to kick start my dream. He was a pleasure to paint and his owner Natalie was so happy with how he turned out. What a handsome boy!

TILLY: This little lady sadly passed and was owned by Ted whom I work with in my day job. Grace and the team wanted something special as a gift for her to be remembered by and I had the honour of being chosen to immortalise her.

ROMEO: Another commemoration piece, this happy lad was commissioned as a remembrance portrait for his owner Holly.  The original reference was a bit iffy and Holly wanted his signature red scarf included, so I drew up this combi piece to make sure his personality was captured.

MISCHA: This lovely lady is a commission I took on that unfortunately wasn't purchased. Her owner pulled out of the sale, but as the portrait has already been completed I'm including her anyways. I'm pleased with how she came out and she has such gorgeous eyes!

CHESTER: This smiley chap was commissioned by the lovely Josie (who's had two pieces done by me now she was so pleased with how this boy ended up). He was so fun to paint, that expression is such a joy. What a character!

CHARLOTTE'S BOYS: These pair were a tricky commission where I had to combine two separate pictures and adjust the composition and lighting to make one cohesive reference. It was fun to draw these two cheeky lads and Charlotte was pleased with the result.
