Sam - Stage 2
.
.
A bit more work done on Sam who, as it turns out, is taking less time to complete than Raven. Not surprising really when I consider the time it takes to build up all the blacks in Ravens fur. Tomorrow should see this finished and a scan of the full portrait with both dogs together.
Changing topics somewhat, I am pleased to announce that my blog has been awarded an award by not one, but two fellow bloggers and artists - Elizabeth McCrindle and Lene Daugaard. Thank you both so much for this - as they say up here in Scotland, I'm well chuffed.Something I have to do in accepting this award is to list 7 things that I love and then pass the award onto 7 of my favourite art blogs. So the 7 things I love are …..
- My kids - couldn't live without them.
- My art time
- Dogs, especially labs, and the things they get up to.
- Chocolate
- Long summer days
- Looking at other artists work and art books (does that constitute two?)
- Simon Cowell (don't ask)
And the 7 blogs that I’d like to pass this award onto, in no particular order, are …..

Oh, that sweet, sweet face. This is why I love dogs too!
And I understand why it would have taken you longer to draw Raven. I just finished drawing my German Shepherd "Shadow" and he has a very dark and Shadowy face too.
Can't wait to see the finished picture :)
I especially like his ear and his nose. :-)
Thanks so much for the blog award! I can't believe I'm one of your favourites. Really? :-) Thank you so much Laura for this kindess and your support. I really appreciate it.
Wow, you do incredible animal portraits - especially the dogs.
Very beautiful!
Thank you:)
Lexy, your finished portrait of Shadow looks great - it always amazes me what can be done with coloured pencils:)
Teresa, No problem at all - I love reading your blog and seeing what you're getting up to with and without your pencils:)
Hi Edward, thank you and welcome to my blog:)
