Your drawings really stand out from the page. You’re so talented. They look like photos.

Thank you. I actually look forward to getting up in the morning, to draw. Keeps me positive 😊

One thing with this lockdown, I think people have discovered all sorts of crafts and skills they didn’t realise they either had or enjoyed. 🌈

Do you sell your portraits or do you just do it for yourself ?😊

I’m thinking of doing commissions. I didn’t expect the amazing response from my pictures. 😊

Really? They are top end! I can’t get my head around the fact that you’ve drawn it even on close up it’s so accurate.

Thank you. I think it’s because I just take my time. The beauty of being the n no rush to go anywhere. It may take longer but I think it’s worth taking the extra time 😊

That is excellent - I suppose that, in lockdown, you head to do it from a photograph?

I encourage you to do it professionally.

Yes I use photos and my phone. I zoom in for the detail. It’s amazing what we take for granted....when you look closely there’s so much detail in some of the simplest things

That’s a good idea. Sounds like you have a good eye for detail. I’ve been watching a you tube video today on how to draw a cat. Couldn’t even get the circle right for the shape of the head 😂

you're incredible!

I'm so impressed with the quality of that beautiful work of art. I know an animal artist who lives locally to me and your work looks as good as hers is, which is really saying something. I hope you continue to use your gift and your skill to give pleasure to yourself but also to other people.

The thing about animals is that they live for such a short period of time compared to humans, and capturing the essence of the animal for a loving owner will offer them consolation when the animal is no longer with them. It is a tremendous talent to be able to share with the world.

Our pets are precious, when we cherish them so much and look into their eyes, they almost look back, into your soul. It’s so nice to be able to capture that individual loving look, in the picture. Thank you again

Oh my goodness, that is absolute gorgeous. I'm amazed at the detail. Do you do this up for a living? If not, you should. x

Thank you so much.

I find it is good for me to draw. The time I take to draw really helps me with my wellbeing during lockdown and shielding.

So beautiful you are really talented! Do you do cats?

Whatawonderfullife in reply toGillyflower18

Yes I do cats. I haven’t done one but am happy to. I’m drawing a horse atm. 😊

When I zoomed into the eyes of true Cockapoo, I noticed there was a picture of her owners on the beach. I tried to replicate it. It was great fun!
