Dancer the Donkey Painting My thirteenth painting for advent – 13th December 2013. Stopping to change direction whilst vintage rallying, we met this soft nosed donkey and asked her the way. OK so we were a little lost, but she was worth stopping for. We did really well after this deviation and won a placing…
“Pointillist Percy the Purple Sandpiper” Painting My twelth painting for advent – 12th December 2013. Another friend from the shore… I took a few photos, which were rather grainy – but that doesn’t matter for painting inspiration, I just need shape and a bit of colour – a starting point… and I’m off. The graininess…
“Which Chat Bird?” My eleventh painting for advent – 11th December 2013. Met this fella down at the shore… he seemed to be paired up with a robin and I assumed that’s what he was till I looked closer Stonechat or Whinchat though, it’s hard to decide? Original Bird Painting in Acrylic on stretched canvas…
“Young Speckled Hen” My tenth painting for advent – 10th December 2013. Another museum specimen species, the official breed name of which remains a mystery to me… Original Hen Painting in Acrylic on stretched canvas – measures 8 x 8 inches. View or Buy more bird paintings at my Gallery Shop!
Cockerpoo Puppy Painting My eighth painting for advent – 8th December 2013. A cross between a cocker spaniel and a poodle. Just one of the breeds or hybrids recommended for those, like me, with a nose that is unfortunately sensitive to animal fur. Hypoallergenic spaniel alternative for the alergic dog-lover? Could this be your dream…
“Yawn the Yorkie”? or – Name the doggy My seventh painting for advent – 7th December 2013. “Tired Teddie” – “Snoozy Sukie” – “Dilly Daydream”… Dosing under a chair whilst his/her owner enjoys a coffee – this little cutie caught my attention. A must-paint dog portrait subject. Now that I’ve captured the wee mite in…
Lovejoy the Lovebird Painting My fifth painting for advent – 5th December 2013. A bit of a rogue with a glint in his eye – crafty, slightly shady, but definitely a charmer – this fella’s got it all. The star of the show at the aviary in Ward Park in Bangor, he’s my favourite anyway……
“Ewe Looking at Me?” Sheep Painting My fourth painting for advent – 4th December 2013. I befriended this wooly lamb at Shane’s Castle at Randalstown, County Antrim whilst marshaling at an Ulster Vintage Car Club driving event. We bonded between driving tests on, what must have been, the hottest day of the summer. I’d like…
“Leicester Piglet” I couldn’t resist – the orange background is just the colour of Red Leicester cheese – that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it! My third painting for advent – 3rd December 2013. This fella is a rare breed and a very lucky piggy too. He lives at the Ulster Folk and Transport…
“Maud the Friendly Moo” – cow painting Here’s my second painting for advent – 2nd December 2013. Driving about on vintage rallies in the Irish countryside is a great time to get friendly with wildlife and farm animals. There are plenty of map check stops and changes of direction that necessitate stopping to say hello…
