Ben's Story

Ben is a beautiful Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross, owned by Lynne and Stuart.
They adore him - and when Ben sustained a sudden onset spinal injury, which left his back legs paralysed - they pulled out all the stops to get him better.

Keep following the blog as I post the stage by stage to the painting of Ben.

  3. Big baby that I am, I was afraid to read Ben's story,but I gathered up my courage and read it. Oh, my goodness, he and his family are sweethearts. I love the photo of Ben and his sister (the cat) cuddled up on the couch together. I look forward to seeing the stages of your painting of Ben.

    By the way, I saw a painting you did of someone walking Missy down a country road. It's a lovely painting!

    Now we live in the country, I have more pics of her in fields :)
    Glad you loved the painting xx
