Sick House…..

I wouldn’t trade my job for the world. Painting pet portraits is my dream job. But when you have to juggle work between a poorly child and yourself being ill it’s not quite so fun! I started feeling ill Monday evening, glands are up, sore throat and very...

Pet Portrait videos are underway

As the title says really. I have finally edited and produced my first full pet portrait video! Yes it’s a bit rough and ready.. Mainly because the time lapse stopped filming at points and the lighting changed. I will have to think about those, but for the time...

Milly’s Portrait

I managed to get a lot more done on Milly’s portrait today. In fact I am nearly finished. Just a case of the last finishing touches on her face and some refining details to go on her and the background to do. I am a little undecided on what colour to use. I...

Millie.

I finally set up my camera for doing some time lapses of my pet portraits again. My phone camera seemed to cut some videos short and I don’t know why. Maybe it was the battery running low, so some clips seem to have been cut short. I also played around with...

Lack of Sleep, Rugby and Art!

I didn’t sleep well last night. It seems Google may have introduced a new algorithm which juggled the rankings about a bit. As this is my lively hood I do take the rankings seriously. I am not very good at SEO though. I am keeping everything crossed it is a...

Barney time lapse video

As promised I have had a look through old videos and I have put together Barney’s video. Unfortunately due to my inexperience in video editing I have managed to chop off the beginning and end of it, but I promise to get better for you.  I do think it gives...

Horse portraits Galore

I didn’t get a chance to post yesterday as I had a day off.  Today it was back in the studio and concentrating on the horse portraits.  I have been working on a mock for a large horse commission for which I took the photographs for back at the...

Oakley and horse portrait.

Today has been another itty bitty day. I had a coffee planned with a friend which didn’t happen as she got caught up and a haircut booked. My son had a much needed one too! On days like this I don’t tend to focus on any pet portraits I try and get odd jobs...

Video’s

I keep talking about uploaging videos of my pet paintings  but they are all on my old phone. I finally charged it and have gone through it. I am a bit of an editing dinosaur at the moment, but if you can bear with me while I learn and enjoy my successes and...

Oakley

It was a whole studio day today. I returned to a very old portrait of a dog called Scooby. It was a gift voucher that was gifted nearly two years ago now. Unfortunately my client has been unwell so the communication has been a bit hit and miss and alse with my...
