Hi Andymo That is the only still life I have done, I made it up out of my head, I wont be doing another one, I will stick to landscapes, still life is out of my comfort zone. Aw ra Best Nell

Hi Andymo Its hard work doing still life, with landscapes I can do sweeping strokes with the brush and be liberal with the paint, on a still life its more exact and disciplined, if you know what I mean. When I get my painting space back I will paint a still life just for you  Aw ra Best Nell

Hi Renak I have only just seen this, apologies for the delay in replying. I can only paint landscapes Renak, I cant draw for toffee, I just make them up out of my head and paint straight onto the canvas, but I think Carlin or Lizzy may be able to help you, send them a PM and I am sure they will do your painting if they can. I am soooo sorry I cant help, but I honestly couldn't paint a dog or a person or anything really except land trees water and grass, I have only done one still life and it was hard work Aw ra Best Nell

Hi Renak I am sorry to hear about your grandsons dog what a shame he must have been really upset I hope you manage to get your painting sorted out as this would have been a lovely gesture on your part good luck with it.

nell theres a glaziers shop in ealing common and the guy specialises in painting dogs and cats all ye need is to get a photo and he does the rest onto canvas with oils would offer to do it myself but i,m still stuck on a painting i,m doing of the apprenticeboys over a year now finding it hard recently to get motivated.
