A new poppy painting

I do like painting poppies, I guess theres something about there colours & looseness
I like, I have painted them in watercolours, acrylics, pastels even palette knife

This one I did over 2/3 days any really enjoyed my self

Candy - Dog Portait Commission

I'd like to share with you a drawing with charcoal, graphite & sanguine chalk
of Candy, my dear friends dog that crossed the rainbow bridge earlier this year.
I have just finished it and got the thumbs up
I usually say no to do pet portrait's, I can't cope with the pressure because I feel it's very hard to capture the soul & character of an animal - I painted my own dog many times, I never manage to satisfy myself..
Anyway I did enjoy enjoy drawing Candy
