Today has been spent catching up with correspondence and emails and generally acclimatizing. I really have to get cracking on the pictures tomorrow as I have two beautiful spaniels, a sheepdog and a young boy to complete by the end of February.
These are the main references I will work from for the Spaniels. The picture of the black dog is a scan showing her as a young dog and I will need to refer to more recent photos of her to fill in the missing detail (omitting the grey hairs) :o) These will be drawn in pastel.
Welcome home. I expect you have come back home for a rest. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI think you experienced a bit of everything.
Will be good to see you art work again.
I'm really pleased that we got all the interior decorating finished and we bought all the tiles to enable our 'man that can' to tile some of the garden walls whilst we are away. We'll see the end result when we go back in 5 weeks time.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling much more motivated to pick up my pencils today (despite the non-stop rain/poor light outside) and am just debating whether to finish the young boy's portrait in coloured pencil which I started a while back or get the pastels out and start on the spaniels. I need a couple of mugs of coffee to get the brain in gear.
Watch this space ... :o)

ReplyDeleteSooooo glad you are back. Look at all those medals behind the blond spaniel. Great looking dogs. Can't wait to see your finish.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanne :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm told the blond spaniel is called a red spaniel (I think of her as 'champagne' coloured - I must read up about dog colouring) and she is a very clever agility dog ... hence the medals
So glad to have you home! Now get busy painting! lol
ReplyDeleteThose little spaniels are darling and the red one is especially fetching. Can't wait to see them finished!
The coffee must have worked well. I see you are right back into your art.
ReplyDeleteHappy drawing/pencil painting.
Thanks Jan and Dors.
