Lots of blue skies and sun this week so far and, from what I hear, should be around for the rest of the week. I always feel I need to make the most of any sun we get seeing as we don't get nearly enough so it will be a few extended lunches for me I think. Well this could be our summer for all I know and I can always make up my hours away from the drawing board in the evenings.

My pastel drawing of Stig is now finished, mounted and has been delivered safely. Did I say I loved working on this one? I think I might have once or twice.

Working on a pastel portrait of a gorgeous Border Collie called Stig. He loved and excelled at agility so this portrait is all about capturing his drive, concentration and focus.

I agonised over this drawing in one way or another for some time before I even put pastel to paper - just couldn't quite make my mind up on the composition, medium to use or background colour to go for but got there in the end, and I'm really happy with how he is progressing. Many an hour has seen me happily lost in all that fur, very therapeutic!
