My original oil painting of ‘Angel’ the American Staffordshire Terrier was featured as Today’s Best product – considering that Zazzle has millions of unique designs this really is a huge honour!

American Staffordshire Terrier Pet Portrait in Oils by Michelle Wrighton
When I painted “Angel” I really wanted to portray the loyal, loving devotion that these beautiful dogs have towards their family when they are bred and raised by ethical, responsible people.
Unfortunately not all American Staffordshire Terriers and Pit Bull Terriers are as lucky as “Angel” and don’t always end up in responsible homes.
If you would like to purchase a print of ‘Angel’ or to view a range of gifts and merchandise featuring this artwork, please visit my Zazzle Giftshop or Redbubble.

Willy Wagtails (Rhipidura leucophry) are the largest and most well known of Australia’s fantails. Found throughout mainland Australia, the wagtail name for these striking black and white birds stems from the constant sideways ‘wagging’ of their tails. I found this little Willy on the banks of the Blackwood River near my home and couldn’t resist turning him into a work of art.
