When the weather isn't fit to go out to paint I like to go back to my pastels, and I am steadily building up my portfolio of dog portraits.  I did lots of commissions  (of dogs, and babies mainly) following on from my two periods as Artist in Residence at Burton Constable Hall a few years ago, but sadly it was before I kept a reliable photographic reference of my work.

This lively wire haired fox terrier belongs to a friend, and was caught mid-air jumping around the house (which explains why her ears are in flight).
