Our South West

Friday, November 7th, 2008

I’ve always loved the South West, the country life and small friendly towns.  We have made the decision to leave Perth and move to the country, to give our family a better environment to live in.  These things take time of course, so in the meantime I will have to be satisfied with the occasional day trip:)  These images were taken between Harvey, Donnybrook, Boyup Brook and Bridgetown.

Newfoundland pup in pastels

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

“Rainbows and Sunshine”, what else could I call this fun filled colourful pastel painting of a black Newfoundland puppy? I really enjoyed painting this one, I really wanted to loosen up, and convey the personality without much detail, so I actually used a very bad reference photo that I had taken at a dog show. (At the time I was disappointed that the photo was so bad, but the resulting painting is worth it I think:)

Painting realistic pet portraits means that I don’t usually get to splash around with lots of colour, so that was the main aim with this one – plus to capture the late afternoon sunlight and the glorious colours in his fur without using black!
