Meet the ginger one

Here we are - the second attempt at the loose impressionistic style.
The first photo shows the cat after all the base washes were done, you can just make out his shape.



The second shows the finished cat.
I quite like him - he has a certain spark about him - and you can certainly see he's a cat !

Gifting Paintings

I sometimes make a gift of my paintings.

There are some close friends who lost their dogs in horrible circumstances, so to try to help ease their pain, I have painted the dog and given them the painting.
Here are two such paintings, Casey and Ginger.


Then there was Flapjack, made as a surprise Christmas present.
He went down a treat !


And then there were these paintings, given either as birthday presents or just as "you're my friend," presents
