Gem,Staffordshire Bull Terrier (pastel) by mark whittaker

Brilliant picture Mark.

Superb.

Yes, absolutely lovely. Excellent work once again. Had a look at your work again Mark. I would like to thank you for your very kind comments they are very much appreciated coming from such a talented artist.

This is surely a gem of a picture ! Beautifully crafted.

Wow excellent work.

Couldn't agree more with all the previous comments. Staffies are wonderful dogs that get such bad press when it's the owners who should be pilloried ( if that's the right word ). Gem looks a wonderful ambassador for them, great work.

Another stunning painting. It may be worth your while approaching the Kennel Club about taking a stand at Crufts and displaying your work. I'm sure you would get lots of commissions but I have no idea what it costs to rent a stand for the 4 days. Have a look at this if you are interested. I do know you have to book months if not years in advance. > http://www.crufts.org.uk/trade-exhibitors Have sent you an email to your website address with more information.

Had to stop looking - didnt want to tho but need to go to bed. Love this stuff. I looked up to number 15 I think and particularly like Dylan,, Millie and Gem. You should be really proud x
