Here's one half of my portrait of Sam & Freya, two beautiful golden retrievers.
I'm lucky enough to have met them before working on their painting & got lots of cuddles!
I chose a soft pastel feel for this digital piece to match their gentle nature.

Little sneak peak of my set up at the Rayleigh windmill, its bound to evolve over the next few weeks.
I'm glad I remembered to snap before and after photos of the space, plus one of the beautiful view out the window.
