Focus on dog portraits!

Here is the first set of samples of the artwork of a dear friend, Kath. I shall be showing quite a lot of her work over time and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I am very privileged that she has allowed me to put these beautiful pieces on my blog ~ thankyou Kath!

This first portrait is of one of her Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Perry, worked in pastels; Kath says it is, as yet, 'unfinished'.



This next  "pawtrait" is of a Blenheim Cavalier KC Spaniel called Buddy, sadly no longer with us, but never forgotten;  worked in pastels.



This next one is a portrait of a sweet little King Charles Spaniel (not Cavalier) as a puppy, isn't he just adorable! this one is worked in pencil - just perfect!


This last one for now is again worked in pastel and is of two Cocker Spaniel puppies . .



I do hope you enjoy these postings, I think the artwork is incredible and look forward to showing you more!
Hope everyone is well and thankyou for holding on and still visiting my blog even though I am not doing any work of my own ~ yet!
