This gorgeous little calf just begged to painted, and in the spirit of exploring a bolder, less detailed, more expressive style I have painted this. It definitely is fun to not be a slave to create every hair as realistic as possible, but I think I will keep playing and pushing tthrough expressionism and towards abstract maybe.

This tiger painting is the first piece of work I completed in 2012 after taking a fairly long break…sometimes the creativity is elusive and just can’t be captured to sit down and create something. Unfortunately having people not only copy your work, but steal it and claim it as their own can have that affect on you. Painting this piece did remind me just how much I enjoy the process but also how much I would really like to loosen up and become much more adventurous with my artwork.

I met this gorgeous Dogue de Bordeaux some time ago at a dog show and new straight away that I would paint his portrait which I have finally managed to do. Actually, I ainted him a while ago now, but I’m still playing catch up with my blog! The Dogue de Bordeaux is still a rare breed, but most people will remember Tom Hanks’ co-star in the 1989 comedy “Turner & Hooch” and camera chomping dog in the Olympus Digital Camera advertising campaign.

‘Donnybrook Rose’ was a joy to paint, quite mesmerizing to paint the sweep and flow of the gentle curves reminiscent of a roses delicate petals. Dark purple, magenta, plum and red violets contrast beautifully against the rich gold, copper and pale blue reminiscent of the iridescent sheen on a Ulysses Butterfly’s wings.
