This fantastic character was photographed outside and the colours in his fur were great fun to capture. He also has a great look and this made it a real fun job to do.

Kane.

This lovely dog was done in pastel. Unfortunatley the referance images were taken indoors, would have prefured to have natural light to show the forms.

Sasha

This was a painting done for a friend, not sure what happened but here is the painting anyway. I think they liked it and I thought I had caught her inquisitive nature.
