Mars

Comments

A very small painting, packed with quite fantastic detail: and I'd rather like Mars .... but assume he's taken... This is very, very skilled use of oil paint.

I agree with Robert. I can feel the texture of the cloth. Gorgeous painting.

Thank you for kind comments and - yes - I'm afraid Mars is not available - it was painted as a present and will go to a new home next week

What a sweetie he is John, great dog portrait and especially gret work on his surroundings!

I also think it a shame Mars isn't available! I think you've captured his personality very well.

There's incredible detail in the chair and cushion yet it doesn't detract from the dog; difficult to achieve. Well done

After a career in insurance and early retirement, I now spend a little more time painting, amongst a number of other distractions. I had some training in Life Classes at Heatherley's, and a few week long courses there and elsewhere. In 2006 I had a painting accepted for the Lynn Painters Prize.…
