West Highland Terrier Painting.

This is the latest painting that I have completed. I have published it on Flickr and will, later on this week, be adding it to the Small Breed Dog Portraits gallery.

Please, if you have a favourite breed of pet and a story about it, please submit it on my website. It would be nice if you give join in and tell me what pet you would like me to paint.

In the meantime, I hope you like this one.

iPad Cases

Just to let you all know that I have created some lovely iPad cases with some of my art work. They are displayed on Zazzle There are some Pet Portraits and some Floral cases. I wish I had an iPad, just to buy one for myself.

Please take look at them. For more information about me and my Pet Portraits, please visit my website: Sarahs Pet Portraits

I am going to start another painting this evening, probably a West Highland Terrier, at the request of my friend, who is ill in hospital at the moment.

Please see my previous blog (I need your Input), if you have a favourite breed of pet that you would like me to paint. It seems that you are all shy!

Thank you again.  Sarah

I Need Your Input

If you have visited this blog before you know that I have a new Pet Portraits website that I have been building over the past few months. Over the past month, I have created a Breed Pet Portraits page which has links to Cat Breed Portraits, Small Dog Breed Pet Portraits and Large Breed Dog Portraits.

Until now I have chosen the breeds of dog or cat to include in these pages.
Please could you help me out? I would like to include your choice of breed, or you may know someone else, who would like to join in.

Do you have a favourite breed of pet that you would like me to paint?
Do you have a story, happy, funny or sad, about your favourite breed?
If you have PLEASE SHARE IT. I am sure everyone would enjoy it.

If you have a photo of that  breed you can submit that too! It doesn't have to be a photo for me to paint, just one that you like.

If you can help me, there is the link to the page on my website at the end of this post, where you can send me your story.

It will have its own page on the website, and others will be able to comment there as well.

I will be over the moon if someone could set the ball rolling. Please don't be shy, none of your personal details will be shared with anyone.  It would be nice to have my readers input as well as my own.

Thank you everyone. I look forward to hearing from you all.

Here is the link. It's very easy to do. http://www.sarahspetportraits.com/breed-pet-portraits.html

English Rose - Summer Song

This English Rose is another flower that took days of waiting to photograph. It was one of only three flowers on the rose bush that had survived the bad weather.

There is very little post processing of the rose itself. I have just applied a textured background to add impact.

This  will be added to products on in my Zazzle store over the next few days.
Please take a look. Christmas is coming.

Iris Painting.

We have had a very wet and windy summer here in the UK and the flowers in my garden have paid the price.

It has been difficult too, to take photos of them because of the wind. Getting a sharp, in focus close up is difficult.

I tried to take a photo of this Iris when it was in its prime, but it was very windy and the images were only good enough for the rubbish bin!

Eventually though, I grabbed and opportunity when the wind had dropped and I was at home for the day. The Iris was past its best, but not too bad. Good enough for a painting.

Painted in Photoshop, using Pixel Bender, Alien Skins Snap Art along with some Photoshop blending modes and brushes.

I hope you like it. Thank you for looking.
