Helen's Tara
A commission, this dog was as handsome as they come and posed well for the photo I worked from. Hairy dogs do however take a lot longer than smoothies.
Mixed media original about 18” x 12”

Hey Brian, I used to be a postman (mailman) – are you trying to frighten me. This is so realistic I want to give her a dog biscuit.
Deborah Fuller
you are realy good at painting animals. I agree 100%, when I draw animals in pencil, long hair take longer. But my cat took the longest because the hair is so fine.
Sorin Reck

excuse my language, but holy christ! this is superb. i’ve tried painting animals before and the tediousness and delicacy of having to deal with each hair just always defeats me in the end. well done!

Stunning marra. Impressive attention to absolute detail.
The expression, you’ve created in the animal’s eyes, is particularly admirable.
Pure art.

excellent fur work…
Linda Callaghan
like a photo and he looks just like our german shepherd Rocky whom we love to bits! what a gorgeous painting
Brian Towers
Thanks Linda. It’s a while since I had any commissions for dog portraits, but I did enjoy the challenge. Best bits are eyes and noses – hardest bit are all that hair.
Tara Sheffer-A...

What a beauty, Brian !!!
I have a portrait of my late Alsatian, Lassie, done in pastels, my neice bought it from an artist in Eldon Square many years ago
Ive always admired it but its not a patch on this one !!!
Brian Towers replied
So, your dog was called Patch….no, I read that wrong! What a canny lad sayin’ such a canny thing George. I must admit to bringing these old pictures back to life by putting them in new groups.

Nice to see you on Redbubble Helen, and many thanks for you kind words. How about the Toon? Poor Sylvia is in depression and wearing a black arm band.
