On The Easel:updated 28/07/2011
This page will be regularly updated with my latest work
as it progresses.
I have been commissioned to painting this fabulous scene of a German Wirehaired Pointer retrieving a cock Pheasant through a maze of autumn leaves. Just my type of "thing" as I love colour. It was a little like "painting by numbers" at first though no one told me what the numbers are!

| I had a really good photo to work from but have used real leaves and pheasant feathers in order to get the detail. The painting is almost finished but will be "rested" out of sight for a few days now so that I can look at it with fresh eyes and make any final adjustments. A very time consuming painting but I have thoroughly enjoyed doing it. |

Also commissioned by the same client is a painting of "Guss" doing a super tender retrieve of a woodcock across the stubble
