Percy

Here is the beginning of the painting of Percy. You can see where I've blocked in colours and have started building the layers on the neck.

Montage finished

Here is the finished montage, approved and waiting for the varnish to dry.

Here is the latest update of the montage. Being my first ever montage I was unsure as to how it would turn out, how I would feel doing it etc but even I'm quite happy with it and I'm very difficult to please! I quite fancy doing more now....

Pearl & Tom

Here is the finished painting of Pearl and Tom, approved and off today, desperately hoping it makes it to the wedding in time!

Again, please excuse the lighting I've had to take the photo under! Tom is now finished and Pearl is coming along nicely. I don't get to paint cats very often, and being a crazy cat lady, it's always an absolute pleasure and treat to do so.

Pearl & Tom

Here is the start I have made to the painting of Tom and Pearl. The shine on the background will be gone once the painting is varnished.

Here is the latest update for the montage of Coco and Dillon. I took it to the 3 Counties Show with me over the weekend with the hope of getting it finished but I learnt yet another first. At my very first ever tradestand I learnt that you spend most of your time talking to customers and not getting as much work done as you anticipated. Everyone loved the painting though and all I kept hearing was "look at the cute dog with the whip in it's mouth"! :-D I had a great weekend and will try to write up about it on my showcase blog when I get a chance. Meanwhile, this painting will be put on hold for a few days whilst I work on the painting of Tom and Pearl which is for a wedding this weekend. I seem to have given myself lots of challenges this year!!
