Wow. I can’t believe we are in the 2nd to last week of 2018. Next week I will do a round up of my year, but for now it’s still busy getting the last commissions packed and ready and posted. I have two pet portraits left to send. One is Amber the horse...

It’s been one of those days today where I feel I haven’t done much, but in reality I have actually done quite a lot. Just not a lot to show for it I guess! There seem to be a few of those recently, but there has been a lot of packing and planning shipping...

Sorry I am not used to starting these weekly blogs. I am used to just adding daily chit chat in lots of little blogs. I decided to keep everything in their own blogs. So each pet portrait will gt it’s own blog and so on. I think it’s easier to follow for...

This gorgeous girl Steffi is to be another Christmas present. It’s been a long time since I have been lucky enough to paint this gorgeous breed. I am so excited to get started that I sketched her out early as I probably won’t be able to start next week....
