Pastel on Mein Teintes paper – 50cm x 35cm

This is the ‘reverse’ version of ‘Moving the Mob’. (This time one of the dogs is visible)! It depicts my husband, Peter, and his wonderful dog ‘Kitch’. I sold the painting from our local gallery circa 2003. It is quite interesting revisiting older works, and I am tempted to play with textured paper again after looking at these two paintings.

I am a pastel artist living in country Victoria, Australia. My subjects vary, ranging from landscapes, portraiture, animal studies, figurative, life drawing, still life and I find the challenge of painting water particularly enjoyable.

    Another wowie one Lynda! Is that Mary in the foreground? The drover would be Pete?

  • This was done well before ‘Mary’ came along Sandra. The doggy is ‘Kitch’ and Pete is the drover.

    I just adore this capture Lynda, typical Ausie scene. I thought the dog’s suppose to be up front helping and not at the back looking.lol

  • Hello Noelene – great to hear from you. Yep, ‘Kitch’ was a very keen worker and would move the sheep along a bit too rapidly sometimes, so he often had to be told to ‘Git BEHIND’!!!!
