Diamond
This is 11x8 and its already hanging in my house!
I love the different colours in the facets, very geometric.
Its quite striking in real life. I'm particularly pleased with this one !

Roxy 6
Roxy's colouring is black, tan and white.
In this stage, I have painted the tan. The white is, as ever, the paper left unpainted. That doesn't mean I don't put some colour on - I usually put a french ultra/aliz crimson mix on, for the shadows.

Roxy 5
In this stage, I have painted a collar on Roxy and painted the football.
If a dog has black in their coat, I usually add a red collar, no matter what they wear normally - because it makes the whole painting sing. You'll see what I mean when you see the finished painting. A brown collar wouldn't cut the mustard.

Roxy 3 & 4
A treat today - two photos!
First one shows the eyes, nose and lip - and the second, I have completed the mouth.
I paint the eyes first and once happy with those, I continue. There's no point to carry on if unhappy with the eyes, they are so hard to fix retrospectively.

Roxy Begins
Today starts my latest dog painting - that of the very special Roxy.
She was taken in when she was five and a half years old by her current owner; who trained her up and brought out the diamond within.
Roxy is now a PAT dog (Pets as Therapy), she is so steady she has been used as a Stooge dog to help other dogs overcome behaviour problems - and she just won the Golden Oldie championship at Scruffts ( for non pedigrees) this year.
