I was charged with the task of painting Rigsby, in time for his human’s birthday, by the lovely daughter of said human. I got to ‘meet’ Rigsby through photographs and he came across as a lovely gentle elderly labrador, who seems to like nothing better than snoozing in the sunshine and curling up on people’s […]

Hanging Round 2015
Our little double-barred finches are one a the few birds who stay for autumn and winter, when all the other birds seem to vanish to warmer climes. It means that we have a lovely extended family of beeping birds with oodles of personality to paint. Hanging Round Watercolour on handmade 100% cotton paper Image size […]

Another painting from the sheep dog trials. Sheep/Dog Watercolour on handmade 100% cotton paper Image size 86cm x 28.2cm SOLD
Corella Mug Shot 2015
The first painting in a silly series of paintings showing a corella (this fella), a galah and a cockatoo showing off their crests mug shot style. Corella Mug Shot Watercolour on cotton paper Image size 13.3 cm x 18.3 cm SOLD through Michael Reid Murrurundi
Galah Mug Shot 2015
Part two of the ‘Crest mug shot’ series, and my personal favourite bird trying to look as tough as possible… which is tricky when you are a pretty pale shade of pink! Galah Mug Shot Watercolour on cotton paper Image size 13.3 cm x 18.3 cm SOLD through Michael Reid Murrurundi
Cockatoo Mug Shot 2015
This is one of a series of bird mug shots. The first three included a corella, a galah and this feisty cockatoo all with their crests raised. This is the final in the three, as he (of course) has the most impressive crest of them all. Hence the title of this painting “Now this is […]
Cheshire Cheese Cat 2015
My partner makes cheese. This week he announced that he would be making a Cheshire cheese, suddenly Alice in Wonderland images floated through my head, so I just had to make a label for this cheese… so here is my Cheshire cat cheese label. I am slightly disappointed to learn that he has made only […]
Bruce the Boxer 2015
This is Bruce. Don’t let the big brown eyes and eyebrow furrows deceive you… he is not stressed. He is a very happy puppy, just waiting to grow into those enormous feet. Bruce the Boxer Watercolour on handmade 100% cotton paper Image size 21cm x 29.5 cm SOLD
Dapper Dachshund
This little fellow was painted as a gift to a very special little baby girl, Ellie. It is a portrait of her parent’s dog Barney… and yes, they were the ones to dress him in a bow tie, not me. But I think he looks very dapper. Dapper Dachshund Watercolour on handmade 100% cotton paper […]
Magpie Thief 2015
We have a family of magpies who come regularly to steal cat crunchies. They have developed quite a cat crunchie addiction. So brazen are they that they are completely unafraid of us, even the cat… I think she took one look at that powerful strong beak and decided a few crunchies weren’t worth fighting for… […]
Wombat 2015
We share our property with all kinds of cute and furry animals, or more correctly, they share their home with us… we are just interlopers. One of my personal favourites are the wombats. Big barrel-like marsupials with cute faces. We have one which lives halfway up our mountain, and despite his myopia, he has the […]
Monty 2015
This is a portrait of my friends very pointy rescue dog Monty. Everything about him is pointy. His nose to his tail. But he is the best behaved little rescue dog I have ever met. Must be loved. Monty Watercolour on handmade 100% cotton paper Image size 14.5cm x 20.5cm (approx) NFS
