This is Willow hard at work, we have been completing a few trail inspections at work, just to make sure they are safe for the general public to walk along. This particular trail is near a very busy tourist spot known as Symonds Yat. Each year famously a pair of peregrines nests in the cracks of the sheer rock face and try to raise their young.



And finally here is a little video of our Cyril, he needed some exercise so was given a run about in the living room. It seemed Cyril was very interested in gardening and spent most of his time either eating the soil from the plant pot or chewing on the plant pot itself!

This is the start of the next of my dog paintings. This is Pepper St George, aptly named as he was born on a St George's Day. Unfortunately Pepper has now passed away but looking at the photos I have received Pepper was a much loved dog who is sorely missed.

So far I have used 4H, 2B and 3B Cumberland Graphite pencils (made by Derwent) but expect to add more as I continue working on this dog painting. I have only layered a little and will be darkening areas as time goes by trying to recreate the sheen and dark of Pepper's fur.

This is Cyril taking in the big outdoors, for the sake of technicalities, I am not releasing a non-native species into the wild, I am simply returning a wild animal back to it's previous habitiat (just in case, but as you will read later, it makes little difference).


We left Cyril with his cage, bedding and chestnuts and went out for the day, however when we returned about 7 hours later there was no sign of Cyril, being the mad animal lover that I am, I called Cyril's name (like he speaks english!) and to my shock and surprise I heard a rustling in the tree above my head, he raced down the tree trunk, raced across the ground and climbed up my legs to sit on my shoulders, if someone told me this story I would say, don't be so stupid but here is the proof.....

Meet Whitney.
This is what her owner has to say about her....
This is my eldest cat Whitney. She is now 26 and unfortunately showing her age and suffering form congestive heart failure. I have had her since she was 3 (ish) and she moved with me from Belfast to England in the late 90's. It would be wonderful to have a portrait of her.

Meet Barney. Click on the image for more detail.

This is what his owner has to say.....

Please find attached our pet, Barney, the Irish Setter.
He is 5 years old, and the most loving loyal & fun dog you could ever wish for!
We have had him from a puppy, but moved to France when he was one year old, and felt he needed a pal, so we got him Murphy a Breton spaniel for company. There are only 10 days between them, and they are both a bit mad, so they get on like a house on fire!
We wouldn’t do without them!

Harley found his way to us through a series of very unfortunate events, such as bolting into cars, brick walls, major roads. He was deemed unrideable and therfore unwanted. Ever since I laid eyes on him I have thought he was the most soulful, broken horse I have ever seen, after a year with us and remembering what its like to be loved, Harley seems to be making a lot of progress, this picture was taken a few months ago and oozes love, happiness and beauty.

As you can guess with Christmas just around the corner, commissions are coming in which means unfortunately I shall have to put Willow, Gypsy and Zac to one side. I have done a little more since the last update but maybe I can use their dog portrait as a break between commissions. We'll see! I am concentrating my efforts on postal commissions first as I believe there could be a postal strike which will cause choas, so if you would like a commission please order it as soon as possible to ensure a safe and timely delivery.
And news for the pet portrait competition, if you are interested in entering please ensure you follow the instructions, I have now received over a dozen images which are simply too small, I have asked for images of 250kb and above but many are simply too poorly detailed and less than 100kb, if I allow these images to be entered, should one of them win the resulting portrait will be unacceptable, this will reflect on my reputation so therefore I'm afraid they cannot be used. Also .... please.... take time to add a few words about your pet, I have emailed many entrants who have sent images minus this little biography but I'm afraid I shall be too busy to continue with this, if an image arrives without any additional text I will simply post the image from now on minus the text as commissions will take priority. It really isn't an essay I'm looking for, just something to persuade visitors that your pet is the most worthy of a vote. Hope that helps clear up any queries!

His name is Casper and he's convinced he's a lap dog despite being larger than your average labrador. He's a bit unusual for a samoyed in that he's biscuit and cream and has loads of soft fluffy fur. Casper is such a people's dog and always has a smile for everyone (especially those voting for him!)

This is a picture of my Whippet Pup. She is now 4 years old but this photo is from when she was a few months old. I bought her as a puppy when I lived in Australia and I brought her home to the UK with me when I returned! (it cost rather a lot but she is totally worth it). She is called Pup because not long after I got her I moved to work on a stud farm. Being the happy little soul she is she met some people before I did and they would all call her Puppy! So it soon stuck. She is the light of my life! We go cycling often together. I would love a potrait of her - she is a one in a lifetime dog!
