Really beautiful, love the clean lines and shades.

Nice pet portrait Gillian. Well painted with just a hint of the curtain tassel sketched in the background. I think you were right not to paint it in.

Agree with above comments, superb shape to the head in keeping with the breed, and you were right to concentrate on that area using feinter details in the other areas

Lovely Lily.

Many thanks, everyone, for your kind comments. I enjoy painting animals, I must say. I've had a go with pastels and oil but find watercolour the best medium for this sort of thing.

Gillian, this is simply stunning. Lovely clean, clear look and you've achieved great depth in depicting Lily's head with a few 'simple' washes.
