“Baxter” …I believe! My fourteenth painting for advent – 14th December 2013. This is the same gorgeous puppy that featured in my first painting for advent… I just couldn’t resist painting him again, this time in acrylics. Met at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum’s hill climb event in June, I’m pleased to be painting…
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!
“Primary Parrot” My ninth painting for advent – 9th December 2013. Another resident of Ward Park Aviary in Bangor – and happily employing a full rainbow of colours in the painting… including some pearlescent ones. The edges of the canvas are rich metalic gold – so, no need to frame! Original Parrot Painting in…
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…
“Light and Shade – the Sunshine Sheep” My sixth painting for advent – 6th December 2013. What – more sheep? Also spotted at Shane’s Castle the same day that I met the young Ewe, but from a more distant viewpoint. Shady sheep definitely had the right idea. I kept dodging under the shade of a…
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……
