Finished

Bruno is now finished and has been for a couple of days but worryingly I’ve been experiencing problems with my computer so couldn’t post earlier. I hate it when things start to go wrong with my computer and I don’t know the reasons why as I always think it’s just a matter of time before it crashes on me. It’s a new(ish) computer too so wouldn’t have thought things could go wrong so soon – I’m keeping everything crossed it’s just a technical glitch.

Portrait update

Just popping in briefly to give you a quick update on how Bruno is progressing. I’m pleased to say that he now has both ears in and that they are more or less complete – all those curls have been time consuming to say the least.

Off now to work on his neck area – I love picking out all the colours that can be seen in white fur.

Start of a new portrait

Back to colour and a nice, small dog to start with to get me back into drawing with my pencils again. It feels like an eternity since I last put pencil to paper and I’m pleased to say the enjoyment, at least, is definitely still there. My motivation is not the same but then that is to be expected under the circumstances (she says trying to convince herself) and I’m confident this will return when it’s ready. Hopefully along with my ‘artistic inspiration’.
