He is beautiful and such outstanding pastel work on his fur, the shades of colour are fantastic and his pose incredibly sweet! So sorry for your sad loss, sending my condolences. Art will be a great way of focusing upon creating some more portraits and animals.

10x8 soft pastel and pastel pencil on pastelmat. It's a while since I picked up my pastels. This one is a Christmas gift. It's been a welcome distraction since we lost my dad to cancer and covid. Now 4 other family members have it. Hope everyone out there is staying safe.

I started painting in Jan 2016 after the death of my youngest sister. I found it great therapy and still do! I love experimenting with different techniques and media. I mainly work in pastel or oils for pet portraits, but I also enjoy doing ink portraits with the odd landscape thrown in for good…
