Im a Chip



Im a Chip

Well Im a Chip is finished.. as the event was a night time race it was important to give the illusion that his ears and the top of his head which being a bay would be almost invisisable against.

I also add a little more dark green behind him to make his legs stand out.

Im a Chip - work in progress

Ive started work on the drivers silks adding the darks to his jacket along with his white pants... The gig has been an interesting challenge with all those bits of unfamilar harnes...

Lastly Ive started blocking colour on  Im a Chip's  body giving direction to his muscles out lining the darks and lights

Im a Chip -Work in progress

Having been working on pop art pieces for the last few weeks its been lovely to start a new equine commission... Im enjoying the challenge of this piece with the harness and background.

For those who regularly follow my work will know that backgrounds are something I don't often include in my work.. This commission however needed the background to tell the story of Im a Chip's win..

Freckles

And now for a touch of the equine and a lovely break from all those pop art pups..

Freckles is a private commission for a birthday gift.. I enjoy the challenge of all those spots and making sure the hair is travelling in the correct direction..  Horse coats seem to have hair going all directions.

Thank you Nikki for commissioning me to immortalise Freckles for you

Fluffy

Yeap you read his name correctly Fluffy.. he kinda evolved on the canvas or should that be morphed on the canvas from a fluffy Tibetan spaniel into a pup type dog..  Fluffy is the latest in my pop art pup series.

The name stuck .. so Fluffy it is ..

Butch



Butch

Its been awhile since I posted but things haven't been dull in the studio Ive been working on a series of pop art pups...

Butch is my latest a bit of an imposing fellow with a serious face. I enjoy the challenge of turning a photograph into a pop art pup.. though against popular belief not all images are suitable to do so..
