Ben the dog

Here is the first dog portrait I have done with oil paint

Ive done a few dogs before but they were all in acrylic, so I'm quite happy with this first one in oil.

Little doll

here is another finished painting

Little cloth doll

5 x 7 inch Oil on canvas board

I've had this doll since I was a kid, so its 30 + years old and has been sitting on a shelf by my tv for many years, as well as painting it, it now has paint on it aswell!, just about everything I own seems to get a bit of paint on it somehow

Leather owls and Buttons

 

Ive been adding to my button collection again, and they have now taken over a whole drawer

ive got loads of tiny buttons that I use for birds eyes on some of my paintings,and I have got lots of  leather bits aswell so I thought I would try to make some jewellery

and these little owl brooches were the end result of a lot of fiddling about

they are aprox 5 x 4 cm with a brooch bar on the back

available on ebay

I am really pleased how they turned out
