Cavalier King Charles by Ruth Dolan

Great Ruth!! i still love your owl and rabbits , you are doing some really good work:)Linda

Really lovely Ruth. I love the pose and lovely strokes of pastel.

Thank you Linda and Carole.

He's a real sweetie!

Beautifully fluid approach with your pastels, especially that just-stated curl of hair at the back of the dog's head, which has caught the form with the minimum of fuss.

My mother had a Cavalier.they are lovely little dogs, and you have caught it so well.

Thank you Robert and William. I normally use pencil pastels, but found much more freedom for this particular painting, with pastel sticks..

Lovely! I just love all your animal paintings, Ruth! They're all so eloquent!

This your best yet Ruth! Very well done! Love the loose, flowing strokes - gives a real lively feeling to this little chap.

Beautiful pastel work Ruth, a great capture, cheers, Paul ;0)

beautiful brought tears to my eyes...................when i was a child my mom had one.........you have captured the way they creep into your heart

Lovely work, gorgeous expressive eyes on this spaniel Ruth
