Tessa by Diana Herzog

Beautifully painted - and as one who has lost a few wonderful dogs in his time, I do sympathize, and know how it feels.

She looks like she was a real sweetie Diana, and this is a lovely tribute to her, great portrayal of her fur and eyes

I lust love to see animals painted in pastel especially when done by a person with your ability. Such a loving pose with 'give me a cuddle' eyes!

A super portrait of a well loved dog Diana. I love the close up format and who couldn't fall in love with those beautiful eyes.

Superb pastel painting in memory of your treasured friend.

Beautiful dog, beautifully painted

Thank you all so much for your kind comments. She was a wondeful dog - a border collie mix. I'm really delighted myself with how well her portrait turned out. It's definitely the best work I've produced -hence the first picture I've uploaded.

Stunning dog portrait Diana. love everything about it!

good grief, I was so stunned when I saw this piece. its so lifelike, its taken my breath away. your dogs spirit is here in this picture you have so skillfully created. absolutely gorgeous. your are without doubt very tallented. I mean that from the heart. your hearts here too. keep it up!!!!

A delayed 'thank you' Deborah. I think her spirit must have helped me create her picture! (I'm struggling with lambs in pastel at the moment and not getting the effect that I want at all.)

The ducks and this, so different, both excellent. Thanks for kind words. B
