Welcome to my “On The Easel” blog! You can follow the commissioned pet portraits I’m currently working on, all from first line to a completed work of art. I photograph various stages and post them as I’m working in my Studio.

Read my Art Articles about how to paint and draw in various mediums, how to scan artwork and much more!

You can also follow the life I share with my own two dogs Chatt & Ace, my two lovely Border collies. We train and compete in Obedience and Agility :).

Dog Portrait in Oil of Oliver

Final Scan

Now I’ve finally completed the oil portrait of Oliver. It took a few more working days than predicted, however I need to be completely happy with the outcome and with some portraits it takes longer than others. This portrait is in size 12″x14″, painted on Italian Linen Canvas. I hope you like it!
