Christmas Commissions

Christmas Commissions - Book early to avoid disappointment

Well that time of year is fast approaching us again when we start looking for that special gift to give for Christmas.

A portrait is a wonderful way to create that special and lasting memory that can be passed on for generations to come. 

Be it a portrait of yourself with a furry four legged companion,

 a portrait of a present or past animal pal.

Bookings for commissions will be closing soon to allow plenty of time for completion and delivery for Christmas.

Remember that good clear images (the larger the better) are best to work with as they allow a lot more detail for me to work with.

If your uncertain of what type of portrait your recipient may like??? Then Id suggest a gift voucher/certificate which allows them to have input into their gift by selecting which image they would like immortalised.

Original works for art are available for purchase ... until Christmas any original work purchased over $500.00 will be shipped free of charge.

Finally finished and ready to frame Well Moo 2 U up.. I had heaps of fun working on these ladies with the unusual colours of blue and purple.. though if you really  look at an animal that has a black coat they are never truly black.

Thank you to Shane Young for the use of your fantastic photo ... cant wait to start on the sister painting to this one also from a photo of Shane's.

Well Moo Too U - work in progress

Well Moo To U - work in progress

Ive been out of the studio for over a month now with a trip to the USA... when I get back into the studio after a break I like to start with something fun before getting down to the business of commissions or work for exhibition.

"Well Moo R U" has been drawn up for quite sometime ready to make a start on.. now was the perfect time to get her or should I say them underway..

"Well Moo R U" is another in my quirky cow works only this time they're all in blues, yellows and pinks on black paper.

Upon completion the finished drawing will be 14" x 21" in pastel

If you would like to register your interest to purchase prior to completion you can drop me an email .. and I will ship for free.

Moo R U - stage 3

Moo R U - stage 3

I apologise for the paleness of the image I photographed todays update in side the studio due to the weather...

Today Ive spent redefining Moo's eyes and working on her muzzle adding in the pinks and burnt brown tones that are present.. there is a long way to go until shes finished... next step will be to start to define the skin on her nose adding all those little dimples cows noses are known for,
