A throwback double #catportrait of Beanie and Birdie from last year. This was one of my largest pastel commissions - 70 x 50cm. It was a joy painting them and hearing about their rescue story :)

My latest pet pastel commission. This was a Christmas present. My new favorite way of doing these pet portraits is to make them into characters or people. I really want to do a Harry Potter or Disney princess pet portrait :)
