king 11,972 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Cheers guys, she's done a few of my dogs over the years, but this one surprised me. Here's one she did a couple of years back of my collie Those eyes look even better in this pic trench.They look like they are made of glass. I've never seen a painting with eyes like that. Quality work fairplay. 1 Quote Link to post
trenchfoot 4,243 Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 She certainly has a talent Buddy some very good has she ever thought about it has a side line She finds it to stressful. She done a handful of pictures for other people of their dogs or horses and it makes her a pain in the arse to live with. 1 Quote Link to post
trenchfoot 4,243 Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I've just noticed that there's a bit of Rodger Decoursey and Nookie Bear going on in the picture with the red background! Quote Link to post

neil cooney 10,416 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Trenchfoot, if your wife done a few commissions you could pay a painter / decorator to paint those rooms for you. She's very good and seems to have her own style. 1 Quote Link to post

Then mithers me to buy her favourites back. 1 Quote Link to post
eastcoast 4,146 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Great paintings Trenchfoot. The thing with the eyes, Landseer said that the trick to successful animal painting is to give them human eyes. It isn't a trick, it's a talent, and your misses certainly has it. The collie cur ones I find the most interesting. The 1st one is very commercial. You can see that as a limited edition print in a trendy boutique or as a birthday card. The second one I find superb. Not just perfectly capturing a hound at rest but the colour and texture of the cushion, not easy and again good technique. Thanks for sharing them. 4 Quote Link to post
