Dog Scruf is drawn with pastel chalk on Pastelmat 21x30cm.
This time was Dachshund Dorrez the lucky one to be painted on a Christmas ball. That look in his eyes, so sweet!
I am very grateful and I find it very special to be able to make people happy with my portraiture in these difficult times.
The client wanted to surprise her husband with hand-painted Christmas balls with the portrait of their 4 dogs. And it was certainly a big surprise, her husband loved the balls!
These will also get a nice prominent place in the living room.
Serwa is a beautiful and sweet Tatra Sheepdog of 10 years old.
Tarik is a Husky Swiss Shepherd cross. A real rascal and clown in heart and soul.
Bjorn (deceased in 2018) was a stately Tatra Shepherd with a very serious character. A very special dog.
Gizmo (died in 2009) was a naughty dog, long live fun.
All 4 baubles are painted with dog portraits. The last one is now almost finished. An order for Christmas, so still a secret.
Recently I drew a number of nice baby and child portraits on commission. For this portrait on size 15x21cm we chose an anthracite-coloured background. The portrait itself is drawn in shades of grey. Then I applied some soft colour accents.
