Welcome to my world
This is "Charlie", I was asked to paint this beautiful much loved Dog by my Godson and his partner.
"It was quite sad to see him go when he was finished"
How I find my Subject in painting
For me starting a painting is an exciting time, it can have many emotions ranging from excitement to despair!!!
This painting was a challenge from the start, I haven't painted animals in a very long time, but once I got into it, it came back to me (like riding a bike..lol) When I paint I get an attachment to the subject and the difficulties to get a likeness can take over, so that's when I put on the kettle have a cup of tea and relax for a while, usually that's all it takes to get back on the right track.... I have some photo's of the process below and a photo when "Charlie met Charlie", hope you enjoy!
