"Dog" and "Cat"
Mostly , I paint animals . I've shared my life with many pets over the years and they have been a constant source of inspiration in my art. There are many artists who specialise in painting and drawing domestic pets , many brilliant artists, however when you are painting a cat or dog , I believe capturing the soul is far more difficult than the anatomy. I want my animal pictures to make you feel something of the subject's soul - if you are moved in any way by the look or the composition, I'm satisfied that I've made a decent painting.
If you have a notion to try painting and you have a pet , what better way to start practicing!
