Tia by Eileen Bradbury

Pastels can really bring a painting to life and you have certainly done this with a very competent approach, very beautifully done! I've never tried pastels but seeing work such as this certainly gives me a buzz!

Totally agreed with Paul, the look and character you have captured, simply great.

Lovely portrait Eileen, great depth the the fur.

Thankyou all for the great comments. I really enjoy working with pastels.

Tia - doesn't that mean Aunt, or something like that...? I rather see this dog as someone's auntie.... beautifully done, soft, melting eyes.

Thankyou Robert, you have made my day!

What a lovely pic. Eileen, I swear if I touched the fur it would give under my fingers. Just great

Gorgeous eyes and coat details with lovely colours

I've just seen this and it is so weird because my Rottweiler is called Tia and we've only had her 5 months. This is a stunning portrait and one of the best I've seen of this breed.
