Today is Lola’s birthday and her pawesome owner, Ian, commissioned me to paint a bespoke portrait of Lola to celebrate the occasion. It was a joint birthday present for his wife too. What a thoughtful gift! 🎁

I spent a lovely morning getting to know the family and meeting Lola. This experience is the icing on the cake for me. I love to see the joy my art can bring to people.

What a wonderful surprise I had today!

In the pawesome chapel of The Charterhouse, I discovered lots of beautiful, carved wooden, greyhounds on the pew ends. Apparently, Thomas Sutton chose the Talbot hunting dog as the symbol of the Charterhouse in 1611.

He was a ‘commoner’ who became one of the richest men in England and he bequeathed a large part of his fortune to found a charity that built an almshouse for 80 ‘brothers’: ‘either decrepit or old captaynes either at sea or at land, maimed or disabled soldiers, merchants fallen on hard times, those ruined by shipwreck of other calamity’.

Greyhounds are thought to represent loyalty, fidelity, majesty, courage and vigilance. Due to their close relationship with their owners and their perceived elegance, they also represented faithfulness and a noble spirit. Britain’s King Henry VIII adopted the breed for his personal standard in 1513 and the Greyhound often appears in medieval heraldry as a sign of noble devotion. They even appear on each side of the Royal Arms of England.

What a claim to fame!

I love painting these noble creatures and capturing the essence of their character in a fun and quirky style.

Let me know if you own one of these pawesome pups and would like me to immortalise them for you.

It’s pawesome to see my products being used and thank you to Claire for this wonderful photo of the oven gloves - and the handsome Jack! What a pawesome pup.

I have learned so much about running my art business over the last 3 years. It has been a challenging and exhausting journey. It’s had some lows. But the support of family, friends and other artists and business owners have ensured that the many highs I have experienced definitely outnumber them.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, given me advice, hints and tips. It’s been invaluable. I’e tried to pass on what I’ve learned to other new business owners too.

Here is an example of what I mean. Originally I was presenting my limited edition prints unmounted. However, I am really delighted with how they now look in these beautiful, professional mounts from . They have lifted them and given my pup pawtraits the level of presentation they deserve. I hope you agree. I’m looking forward to showing them to customers at my upcoming markets.

I recently learned an interesting fact … that collectors, of emerging artists’ work, often like to collect certain ‘numbers’ of each design. How fascinating. Let’s see if this is true! I wonder what the most popular ‘number’ is?

All my prints are printed on gallery quality archival paper. They are sustainably produced in Britain by and are limited to 200 prints.

Please visit my website to see the designs currently available.

Here’s a cheeky peek into my painting process!

It’s all about the layers.

I start by copying a photo of a pawesome pup onto a framed canvas or board. I do like to use products.

I use acrylic paints which I usually buy from a local art shop . I’m like a child in a sweetie shop choosing the colours!

Generally I pain the background colour first and then start painting base layers on the pup’s head and shoulders. Sometimes I leave the eyes to the end and sometimes I feel the need to get them painted early on in the process. The eyes really bring the pup to life and give the painting a vitality.

I keep adding layers and details until I feel I have captured the essence of the pup and then I can enjoy painting the finishing touches such as the accessories.

And then it’s done! Another pup joins the Pup Goes The Easel pack and is ready to bring joy to the world!

Let me know what you think.
