Mia by pauline ford

I have just started putting my animal work on the website for the first time after entering the tame and wild competition which got me to this site in the first place. on just commenting on your recent piece of work I saw the one you did of Mia in pastel. what a lively vibrant picture, you really have captured the look of playful glee, especially in the eyes. friends have commented on how important the eyes are obviously to me in my animal portraits, and I see you have captured exactly what they see in mine, almost life like. a really lovely drawing, and a great fitting memorial to a beloved pet, bet your friend loved it.

Agree with Deborah's comment, Mia has a lovely lively expression in this pastel pet portrait, you have shown her open mouth really well and used very good colours as well, her eyes are good as well

very nice expression, Paula

I do like the detail work on the mouth, so wet and very well coloured.
