Three great additions to your portfolio Jenny. I've missed seeing your "quink and miltons" paintings, they always intrigue me and I like the addition of oil pastel on this grand old mans portrait.

Terrific painting Jenny and what a super gift!

Absolutely love this piece! Toby is especially well rendered!

Thank you Val, Fiona and Seok. I wanted to make a good job of it. Toby is quite a character, he comes to lodge with me when his Mum goes away. It is always a worry because he really pines for her and goes off his grub so I have to work very hard to coax him with dainty morsels and keep him entertained to keep his mind off his problems. Nothing looks quite so pissed off as a pissed off tortoise !

Jenny, it's lovely to have you back. I hope you have fully recovered from your injury. Your latest are just as exciting as ever. This one works so well. It works so well and is your original style.

Thank you Gudrun, I am fine, thank you for asking - I apologise for having been rather lazy about putting my stuff online. Glad you like it

ink and bleach with oil pastel. Toby is a venerable auld boy, well over 90 years old. He lives with my neighbour Molly and I painted his portrait as a gift for her 90th. birthday
