Poppy by Diana Hudson

Lovely tones and values, and great draughtsmanship.

Yes, I agree: beautiful, lively drawing. You can draw or paint anything, Diana, it is always stunning!

Great portrait. Love her fluffy fur, could almost reach out and strke her.

What a lovely coat your dog has. A beautiful drawing.

Good thing I know what you meant Carole LOL. THank you so much everyone. This took me over a week doing several hours a night; a labour of love.

I think this is your best dog portrait yet, obviously a lot of love went into it.

Val got there before me: this is obviously a labour of love: and who wouldn't love this dog..? Science has got it ALL wrong - never mind extending human life, who wants to trudge on and on towards our second century? What we need is a concerted effort to extend dogs' lives, which just don't last long enough. And if, in passing, I could put in a plea for rats....?
