“Waiting” Bullmastiff pet portrait in colour pencil

Friday, April 7th, 2006

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.

Bullmastiff - Dog Art

“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.
