Here’s Jett’s soft pastel portrait, created on commission as a special gift from my client to one of his long-time clients, someone who has since become more like a friend to them.

ABOUT THE PET:

Jett, the 12-year-old Sheepadoodle affectionately known as “Mr. Mugs” or “Sprocket,” was pure joy wrapped in fur. With his puppy-dog eyes, happy smile, and playful quirks, he could win over anyone. Jett had his little routines: evening frozen yogurt, dental sticks, and playtime before dinner, and he loved being brushed while everyone told him he was beautiful.

He was gentle with children and seniors, curious about everything, and endlessly loyal to his family. Jett thrived on togetherness and always wanted to be part of whatever was happening. He adored food, from rotlis and apples to soft-serve froyo, and even shared in small treats with his family. Jett’s spirited personality, mischievous charm, and unconditional love left a lasting impact on everyone he met. Though he is deeply missed, his joyful presence, silly antics, and loving heart will live on forever.

I’m back at home but in need of a rest day today! I’ll return to the studio tomorrow and maybe finish off my workshop wolf demo with a few final touches and share it with you tomorrow. Thought I would share an oldie this evening from a few years ago. I love a Spaniel with flowing ears! I have a couple to do this year so I better channel my energy into painting more curly ears soon!
This was on Pastelmat using the lovely palette of mostly that you see beside.

Celebrating 8 years of making tutorials for Patreon. What a journey that has been, starting with very low tech and tearing my hair out at times over the difficulty of filming and editing with prehistoric equipment. To now where I feel truly lucky to have had such amazing support over these years allowing me to upgrade bit by bit and make the job easier each year.
I so enjoy sharing all my techniques and having the extra nudge to experiment and share those findings through my videos. I also get the joy of seeing other artists have those break through moments when something just clicks. It's been a real buzz doing this and I hope I can continue for as long as possible.
Thanks for all your support! The sleeping spaniels was one of my early tutorials made for Patreon and one I've seen painted many times by my students there.

"Chicka-dee-dee-dee, chicka-dee-dee-dee is the call in the garden and the woodland that warms the coldest winter day. These bouncy balls of fluff always seem happy and full of energy. Here I have tried to keep in tune with their mood by showing the bright red high-bush cranberries and the white pine needles bursting through the clumps of snow." ~ Robert Bateman
