Lily and Devon

As a result of Cottingham Day,I was given a commission to do a portrait of two dachshunds.

Devon the Dachshund

The dogs are completely different in personality but share a great zest for life and mischief.

I used dry pastels, a medium I haven’t used for a long time.

Lily the Dachshund

I rediscovered the lovely textures and colours blending pastels can give.
The owner was very pleased with the results and thinks I have captured the character of her dogs very successfully.
