"Poser" on Saatchi online (voting finished)


Firstly thank you to everyone who voted for "Temptation". In the week it was in the showdown it had over 750 votes. "Poser" is now on Saatchi online showdown from today until next Monday.
You can vote for it here
There are just under 3000 submissions so, er, competition may be a little tough.
But I leave you with this quote "To succeed, we must first believe that we can"... ahem.

"Charlie" 12" x 12" oil on canvas (SOLD)



I'm painting a few different animals at the minute, so thought I would paint this little lamb away from its natural habitat too.
I'm working on a large cow at the minute so this guy has kept her company, and kept me from going cow mad!

Now that I am getting comfortable with my new style of painting I am also going to be working on some people so watch this space!

"Poser" 20" x 20" oil on canvas (SOLD)




Well I thought I would start the New Year with a nice cheerful painting!
This is an Oxford Sandy and Black pig and is one of the oldest British pig breeds coming close to extinction a few times.


I have tried to keep the colours quite lively with a complimentary background and I may have accentuated the smile:-)
I would like to thank James Dennett who provided me with the original photograph which you can see here
