Hi folks,

Just finished another drawing.

It's my cousin's dog, Gunner.

I met up with my cousin and her boyfriend and other family back in the summer.

First time meeting her boyfriend but he was very nice and I was talking to him about my drawings and he commissioned me to draw his and cousin's dog.

Enjoy :).

Take care everyone.

great work Matt absolutely love the detail of his nose ,, Sue 👍

[Matt2584 in reply to Teazymaid]

Thank you, Sue :).

When I was talking my cousin’s boyfriend about drawing for them he asked me if I could draw the dog in graphite but colour the nose pink as the dog has a pink nose/birth mark.

Lovely drawing- they must be pleased.

[Matt2584 in reply to Butterfly28]

Thanks Butterfly :).

They haven’t seen the drawing just yet but I think they will soon :).

That's fab, I love the splash of pink, what a lovely talent to have, it must help you loads to relax. Well done carry on putting your work on here for us all to enjoy.

[Matt2584 in reply to haverfordwest]

Thank you, West :).

I would have drawn the whole dog in graphite pencil but I was asked if I could colour the nose pink since the dog has a pink nose/birth mark.

I think the ponk nose is the highlight which was why they wanted me to colour it.

I’m always posting my drawings on here as I feel it is something for me to post and I know that others like them too :).

Your drawings always make me smile, and I imagine the pleasure the recipient will have when being given it. Carry on making people happy.

beautiful artwork. I can’t draw at all! My husband is the one who had a TBI not me. You could take commissions on and earn some money. Can you draw from a photo?

[Matt2584 in reply to Bichou73]

Thank you Bichou :).

I do take commissions and I will be selling this picture to my cousin and her boyfriend.

Yes, I can draw from photo.

I like to scan any photos so that I have the image on my computer and that way I can then zoom in to certain areas and get more detail :).

I drew a dog for a friend earlier in the year and she took the picture on her phone and printed it off and gave to me to draw.

I then scanned it.

She could have sent me the photo in a text or email but I don’t think she is very computer savvy.

Matt when are you going to do an exhibition?

Every one of the drawings you post is brilliant.

I still have my siberian tiger you did for me years ago.

To paraphrase strictly KEEEEEEP DRAWING.

[Matt2584 in reply to randomphantoms]

Aww, thank you, Phantoms :).

I did do an exhibition in 2019 in the town I live in and I sold one of my pieces as well :).

I was all set to do another exhibit in 2020 but we all know what happened there don’t we.

I was called up later that year when shops were open again about doing another exhibit but turned it down cos I already had an idea that we were going into another lockdown and I was right.

Ever since then I haven’t been interested in doing any more exhibits and plus I am getting out more and going to different places on my own.

Building my independence :).

[randomphantoms in reply to Matt2584]

I'm really pleased to hear that you are building independence and confidence.

I'm starting to learn to do things on my own

I know it's early but have a great Xmas and New year ( all of 2025)

You always manage to capture an animal's expression quite expertly Matt. This young chap is surely thinking 'Walkies ?' Such an appealing depiction.

Hope you & yours are well m'love . . . Xx
