Charlie

Charlie

Earlier this year I saw Charlie at the local agricultural show. He was being ridden under saddle by his owner. As I had my camera handy and thought he had such great character I decided to take some photos of him in his yard. What made me laugh about him was that every time I clicked the camera he pulled a face like he was either smiling or laughing at me.

It had both myself and my mother in stitch's. Didn't give another thought to Charlies photos until I was asked to include photos of my artwork containing cattle in a magazine article. This gave me the excuse I needed to dig out Charlies photos and draw him.

Charlies portrait has been purchased by his owners. Thanks Robin and Garry.

Boof

Boof

"Boof" what a great name for a dog. This little fellow was a rescue dog and his owner Denise gave him such a wonderful life after rescue. Denise runs Paws rescue and Boof was one of her rescues.

Sadly Boof passed away last year. Denise commissioned his portrait to celebrate what he meant to her.

He will soon be added to my Immortal Gallery on the website www.animalarthouse.com

Thanks for looking.

Leader - what an interesting commission this guy was. Leader passed away many many years ago I had a black and white photo and a couple of coloured photos to work from for this guy. He was a christmas commission for a ladies father, which made him a very special present.
