North Tyne Hounds

A painting for Owen "Huntsman" for the North Tyne Hunt, he is leaving to join the Coniston Hunt in the Lake District.

I do not Hunt myself but over the years have received commissiones from a large number of hunts to paint hounds. 41cmx 41cm oil on board.

Royal Ascot

Hard to paint from above , I am pleased this one is finished.

PUG

You do not see many pugs but they are surprisingly popular dogs, Pug owners are usually "Pug mad" and have one after the other, Strange looking dogs, good to paint !

Thanks to peter forret ( photographer ) for allowing me to paint from his photo

Intense

Another Flamenco Dancer, oil on gessoed board 13x30cm .

by the Moonlight

This is another small painting, it is 16x11cm. I have found that Painting so small gives me more freedom of brushwork, less fuss, which is a good thing , if you paint, give it a try !

Lovers

I am happy with this, this is getting there, not for the actual image but for the way the paint was applied, The picture may look the same as the others to you, its just "little" things that went right for me.

Thanks to Peter Forret the Photorapher who gave me permission to use his photo as a reference.

Flamenco Dancer 2

I have already painted this a week or so ago, I thought I would have another go ! I prefer the other to this one myself , I tried to add colour and to lighten it up a little.

Close up

I had to slim this girl down quite a bit and change her clothes, she has ended up looking like my wife "Deb" strange! Thats me in the hat!

Flirt

Its taken longer to think of a name for this painting than it took to paint it, I give up !

It looks like a easy image to title but just try it without being to obvious, actually ive had a good laugh thinking of daft titles for it ..... "DAVE".... was the best I could think of.

Last Dance

This painting was not quite dry, the flash is reflecting in the wet paint a little but you can still see whats going on, been there ! seen it, done it, hope to do it again !

Flamenco Dancer

I find it quite difficult to paint highlighted skin tones from out of the darkness, I usually paint very quickly but this painting slowed me down a little, I will try some more !

Tango Magic

Thanks to Hartmut for giving me permission to paint "Mazen Kiwan & Sigrid van Tilbeurgh"

ORIGINAL OIL

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON
