wonderful drawing
most impressive
Julie Marks
Stunning drawing of an exquisite dog. The expression in the eyes are soulful and the coloring and soft gray background are elegant contrasting colors. I wish those who mistreat, abuse and discard these beautiful animals after using them for racing could see the beauty inside and out of these sentient creatures. However, they are the cruel insensitive people who don’t have a clue about the nobility and beauty of these sensitive animals. We all have to work to preserve and protect Greyhounds to protect them from the ignorance and brutality of those evil people who misuse and destroy these magnificent creatures, Betty Mercey on artwanted and possible redbubble has rescued 12 greyhounds and has a large property in France where they all live harmoniously and sleep in baskets around her bed every night. These stories are so touching and your beautiful artwork is a testament to these special dogs. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
whisperingruth
Gosh . . . he’s BEAUTIFUL Penny . . . your art is true to life!!!
PennyEdwardes
Thanks so much Kat…..I think I might adopt one!
PennyEdwardes
Thankyou Julie! totally agree….greyhounds just like standardbreds (trotters) are mis understood. My girlfriend has three greyhounds, and they are all the most loving and loyal companion dogs!
PennyEdwardes
Thanyou Ruth….in the original photo, he looked like a real sook!
houndpix
They arrived in the mail today !!!!!!! Just beautiful :) Penny nailed everything about my boys, their eyes, the soft tones you used was perfect, shadowing was second to none.

PennyEdwardes

fuxart
you have an astonishing collection of noble animals. I am pleased again and again if love of animals gives people it.
Viviane Cathmoir
My son’s insisted that I tell you how much he likes this. We have two whippet crosses who are his cuddle friends and he’s very taken with this portrait. Well done.
PennyEdwardes replied
LOL! Thankyou Viviane…...I love whippets too! I’m so pleased your son likes him! :)

PennyEdwardes replied
Thanks so much Rob….Gareth was stoked!
Heidi Garner
The ‘hound’ family of K9s always seem to have that ‘lookatmearen’t Igorgeous’ look about them. I have a Greyhoung x (Christa) and this reminds me of her. ‘Christa’ thinks she is royalty. I love your work Penny :)
