OLLIE by Ruth Dolan

Ruth, this is gorgeous, and he is too. Beautiful pastel and I love that dandelion!

Thank you so much, Marjorie.

How cute, Ruth - beautifully captured. (Hope you are well and nice to see that you are still painting and producing lovely work).

He is lovely, Ruth. My neighbours had a dog called Ollie, who fell in love with my cat, Fluff When another neighbour and their aggressive cat moved in, Fluff went to live with Ollie for protection! Now both Fluff and Ollie have gone to to pet heaven, another Lab, just like the one you have pictured has moved in next door.

He is gorgeous Ruth, love the pastel so beautifully done.

A little beauty Ruth

I expect he is one big dog now Ruth. He's lovely and the quirky one dandelion.

Oooops sorry just seen that Ollie is now in big kennel of n the sky... but just a lovely memory to have.

Thank you Linda, lovely story, the Lab. is such a gentle breed. I have another one to paint for a friend, but Lois is a Labradoodle...he's beautiful, hope I can do him Justice!

Thank you Thea. Yes I am reasonable well but difficulty managing daily life, I'm afraid. Heigh ho!. Hope you too are well, and so glad to see you posting your beautiful line work, it is so impressive.

Thank you for looking, Carole, I do enjoy pastel work, it is the framing which can be a tad difficult for me.

Thank you, Dennis, good of you to comment.

Hi Sylvia and thank you. Yes he will be one of the doggy spirits now. Sadly he wandered from home as a fully grown dog when my friend's mum & dad were looking after him as my friend and her hubby were on holiday, and he was never seen again. Terrible time for them all, he was a beautiful dog. When they visited us he used to play head butts in the field with our Peggy sheep (We had some strange pets years ago and she was a motherless lamb we had inherited!) Hope you are feeling stronger now.

So cute Ruth, a lovely pastel work.

What a great little fellow !

Thank you for your kind comments, Margaret and Avril.

He's such a little cutie Ruth, lovely pastel work.

Thank you Val. Hope you are keeping well.

It's very good Ruth , great expression on the little fellow

Thank you Dermott for your lovely comment.
