Monty

Oh Carolyn Monty looks wonderful, you are very skillful in pet portraiture. I must have a go of my dog, trouble is he's all black which is more difficult.

It might have been a long process Carolyn but it was worth it, a lovely portrait.

Thank you so much for your kind words Margaret. I have been doing lots of practice! I did my friend's collie Molly in acrylic (it is on this site) she is very black so I added bits of blues and white. White is the colour I find hardest. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your boy on here soon☺

Gorgeous dog portrait. His expression is wonderful, just begging for something - a walk? another meal?

Thank you very much Sandra for your kind words. Monty (and Shiloh who I put on here a few days ago) belong to my cousin. She sent me the photos. He looks to me like he is talking!

Meant to comment ages ago but was distracted. This really is delightful. I love the eyes, teeth and dog collar. Your hard work really paid off Carolyn. Congratulations on such a wonderful painting.
