I’ve never owned a dog, although I do love them, so until recently I’d not attempted to paint one.  Then a friend posted a photo of theirs on facebook and almost challenged me to have a go.  So I did.  That set a new creative thread in motion and since then I’ve painted quite a few faithful companions.  This one is the lovely Bess whose owner commissioned a portrait for her husband’s birthday (soft pastels).
