Harris and Skye

I had to get around to drawing the two new additions to our little family at some point so here they are in an usually restful pose after lots and lots of playing! Skye is the little lady on the left and Harris is the chubby boy on the right.

Latest commission

Here is my latest pet portrait commission for Roz down in London, this is her dad's lovely doggy Buster. I wish my dogs were as calm as this...!

During the last couple of weeks I have been spending some time exploring the East Lothian coastline with it's pretty little towns and rugged beaches. I will make some of the resulting paintings into cards and possibly also prints to approach new galleries with in the East Lothian area.
