Willy Wagtail – Bird painting

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

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.

Bailey’s Portrait session | South West Photography

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

Bailey was my first session with a child that I have never met before. He is only two years old, very well behaved and was an absolute delight to photograph.

These are a few of my favourites from the session.

WIP – German Shepherd Dog in charcoal

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

I have a number of pieces on the go at the moments, this pet portrait of a beautiful German Shepherd dog isn’t finished yet, but I thought I would share the progress photos to give an idea of how this portrait has developed so far. I am working to avoid just duplicating the photograph, I do want the piece to retain a definite hand drawing look, and I am experimenting a bit with ‘painting’ the charcoal rather than drawing as such.

Charcoal on drafting film approx 9″x12″ image size.

Let me know what you think so far!

I am looking for more German Shepherd models for my “Best of Breed Series”, so if you are owned by one or more of these beautiful creatures, there is some additional information   here.
