Thank you Irma
I am glad it was a small one. I dont know where I would have pulled the detail for a bigger one from. The ref came from a phone camera.

As for commissions .... yes, I do have a good few lined up. But I am undecided if I am going ahead with them straight away or ask to put them off for a little while. Will see .....

Re: Blue, a German Shorthair Pointer - FINISHED

Thank you Ken for updating the title


I heard back from the client ..... she loves it

Little extra job as she would like the name Blue to be written on it. Just waiting for details on that now, but at least the dog is done

Bristol Board extra smooth
6 inch x 8 inch
Mars Lumographs 5H, 2H and 2B plus FC Pitt Graphite Pure 3B for the blanket.


Beautiful finish! And fast too! This, you did NOT get from Michael! Sorry, Michael, but it is true!
