MY BLUE BED


Pastel 14" x 16"

My cousin's pooch, a Staffie, name of Rocky.   He'd retired to his bed when I took the photo and I believe I was spouting soppy rubbish, which turns him dopey eyed and craving a tummy rub.   He lives in the UK, near Cambridge, fields all round for great walkies and (of course) he's superbly spoiled.

Portrait was done summer 2010 but never 'posted' - time it was!

WHAT'S THAT?


Pastel 18"x14"

This has always been a fave of mine.  Brother and sister sphynx cats fascinated by fluff on a string:  the boy, Capo, is tentatively ready to take a swipe;  Lulu, for once, is letting her brother have first go - - then she'll take over!

They're about 7-8 months in this portrait - from spring 2010, it's never been 'posted' before, and is now moving into Gallery 2. 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

ARIEL


Pastel 10"x14"

A gentle giant with a dramatically dark coat and silver ruff.    A rescue, Ariel is a lucky and much loved boy who lives in the country with 3 dachshunds as mates (what a crew!) and Diana as Mum.   Portrait is from summer 2010.

THE FIRST ULLE



Pastel 10"x12"

To maintain the theme of Ulle, here is the first portrait posted back in November 2010.  
I've no idea which I like best.

STARGAZER


Color Pencil 10"x12"

Ulle, 'star' of recent posts, gazing up at his owner.    He can't help but be stunning, can he?

I was pleased with the title too - adds a certain mystery to it if you don't know what he's looking at.

MY TREAT


Colour Pencil 10"x12"

Ulle again, very gracefully taking a treat from his owner's hand.
An elegant and strikingly good looking pose - so different from the "shlump" on the sofa!    Whatever he does, he does superbly.

ULLE SHLUMPED


Pastel 12"x14"

ULLE AGAIN!   
Can you believe this?!
Ulle the non-pareil Weimaraner shlumped out on the sofa, all four paws to the fore.   Gotta love him for being such a regular guy.

And TOMORROW watch for Ulle at height of elegance.


ALIVE AGAIN!

My PC crashed last week and am only JUST back on line with a loaner.

New POST for tomorrow...and am slowly getting in touch with emails.   Annoyingly webmail doesn't access my "memorised" email contacts so I may take a while to find you!

Any queries?   Send an email through the CONTACT ME gmail account, or to my videotron acct.

ciao!
