Maine Coon
Still a little more to do . . . might darken down the background a little more and just generally fiddle with it. Hoping to get it framed in time for the SOFA exhibition submission deadline on 4th August!

Bobcat in acrylics
 |
| I was going to do this all in acrylic inks, but I only have a few bottles so went back to my larger range of tubes. This is probably the smallest painting I've done it's only 20 x 20cm (8 x 8"). |

Competition winner's portrait finished
Here's Blu, all finished. A4 is the smallest size I do as I find working small quite hard; it's difficult to get in the detail to get it to look lifelike. I'm pleased with this one though; haven't done a pencil drawing for a while and really enjoyed it. In the photo, Blu's left tooth was covered by his tongue. It looked odd when I copied it so I've popped it back in! If you'd like me to do a portrait this size of your pet, I have an offer on at the moment - see my website for more details.
The competition was run in conjunction with Portsmouth's About My Area website which is a fantastic source of what's going on where in the local area.
