	'Oscar' 40 x 50cms Oil " Thank you Sue, so much for my beautiful painting, it means more to me that I can put into words. Even though you never actually met Oscar you have still managed to capture his personality. To quote my friend Kym, who came with me to collect the painting, “You haven’t just painted a picture of a pet Australian Blue Cattle Dog, you’ve painted Oscar’. Natalie

This larger photo is more accurate to the colour of the portrait.	'Isobel' 40 x 50cms Oil " It's all that I was after and more! It conveys the soft loving woman that is Isobel which is exactly what I wanted. It will be a treasured heirloom." Neville
	Sue - " I painted Isobel's portrait from several photos. I often don't like to show my reference photos as I sometimes use several photos to guide me for a portrait. I use the photos as a starting point and don't slavishly copy them so often the painting will not look exactly as the photo. I want each portrait painting to be better than the photo. Here I downplayed any wrinkles Isobel had as although I wanted to show a mature Isobel I wanted the focus to be her lovely personality. "
	'Jack' 40 x 50cms Oil " "OK - I have waited till I had all the family here to give me their opinions. We are all thrilled! You have definitely captured his inquisitive nature. Thanks so much." Jenny
	For Sale $2350 'Power and grace' 59 x 59 cms Oil As this wasn't a commission I decided my aim would be to emphasise the movement and front of the horse and everything else would be less important. If this was a commission the client would have had input and I could have put a jacket on the rider , had the horse plaited maybe even had the rider the most important. That's the beauty of a painting, unlike a photo where it is already chosen for you and everything is important , in a painting you can choose to emphasise whatever you want .So from one photo you can get several paintings all with a different feel.
	' Rex , Hawk and Grizzly ' 30 x 70 cms Oil on Deep edged canvas This is a posthumous portrait of all 3 dogs. Australian dog Painting of an Alsatian , Doberman and Rottweiler
	'Grant and Casca' 30 x 40 cms Deep edged canvas Oil " It's awesome! I'm sure he'll love it!.." Kym This painting was a compromise. It was to be a secret and the reference photos weren't good enough to use . We had to use a different horse and rider for the action pose and change the colour of the horse . Then we had to find a suitable face of Grant from the photos of Grant we had to suit the riders pose. To see what we did click here

	'Jazzabout' We placed Jazza in a setting with the views of the property . Jazza is now retired but we painted him in his prime. 50 x 60 cms Oil "Thank you for the wonderful painting of Jazzabout. You have captured him in a way that shows off his beautiful kind eye and gentle nature, but have still managed to capture his happy soul. This horse is very dear to me and has given me a lot of enjoyment in both training and competitions. I will enjoy seeing him forever portrayed in Oils everytime I walk past this lovely painting." Louise
