She looks like such a sweet little dog Vic! I like all the colors you added in her fur..and I like the background as well. .nice work! I'm working on a commission of a dog but I'm not happy with the photo she gave me and unfortunately the dog is a mixed breed that I can't google....SO we have to do the best we can... right?
Hi my friend. Thank you for your comment Hilda. I`m glad that you like it. It is a lot smoother looking that the acual photo. It is terrible when you just can`t get the subjecy right. I know what you are going through. You must have a good photo to do a good job, but knowing you, you will produce a good likeness. All the best Hilda. Vic..
Vic, love this painting. I too love the colors, but what I love is the adorable expression you have captured. I am happy you painted this cutie. Is she your sons pup? Well done my friend.
Hi Susan. Thank you very much for your nice comment. Susan I am sorry your Daughter would like Monster, (an apt name i`m sure), It was sold at an exhibition only yesterday along with my Robin. She could have most definightly had it. Again I am sorry. I`m sure you could paint monster better that I could. All the best Susan. Vic.
I started painting around 1990 and loved it straight away.
I started with watercolour,and then after about 15 years I moved to Oils and acrylics. I still paint the odd watercolour to keep my hand in so to speak. I love impressionism. The only time I use detail is when I paint portraits. Otherwise it is my interpretation of the subject.
I am retired but still find it hard to find time to paint. I reckon I can manage to do a painting about three times a week.
Originally I was a Motor Mechanic. Then, for the eighteen years leading up to my retirement, I worked
for Barclays bank.
