“Waiting” Bullmastiff pet portrait in colour pencil
This is probably my favorite piece that I did in 2005. The look in this dog’s eyes just says it all, he is laying there patiently waiting for his owner to come back.
“Waiting” Coloured Pencil, 11″ x 14″, 2005
This piece was completed purely in colour pencils on cream Stonehenge paper and took well over 55 hours of work to complete. It was worth it though, because it was awarded First Place in the Painting & Drawings: Animals class at the Art Show I entered – pretty amazing seeing as colour pencil is such a new Fine Art medium and because the other entries included oils, acrylics and pastels!
This Bullmastiff pet portrait features on dog breed merchandise such as stationery, prints, greeting cards, tote bags and more.

Thank you Nina:) This is one of those pieces that I don’t think I could ever part with, even though it is not a portrait of my dog.

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for your entry in my blog! I looked at yours too and I like what you make! I saw that you’re also on WetCanvas. I participate in the WDE (weekend drawing event) there each week. Great Artsite.
Good luck with your artwork.
Best regards, Connie

Thanks Connie! I always seem to miss the WDE’s over on WC, too many weekend activities with the kids, plus the time zone difference.

I love this picture! It looks just like my dog, Mr. Wendle (the bullmastiff). The expression is priceless. How can I get a copy of this print for my wall?
