Recently finished this memorial painting of lovely Maisie. Hopefully it will go some way to helping her family’s grief, having this painting of her on their wall ❤️.

I have groomed a patterdale intact dog today.
He is full of beans, lovely temperament, and handsome. However, he is living with a lovely young family, and another elderly dog. They are sadly finding his needs difficult to meet.
IMO he ideally should be on a farm, or somewhere were he can be the incredibly inquisitive, active, and fun loving boy he is.
They don’t want to rehome him, but recognise that meeting the needs of everyone, including him, is just not getting any easier.
So, if you, or you know someone who may be able to offer him what he needs please get in touch.
As I say this is reluctant, and putting out feelers, and they certainly will want to be involved in his relocation.
As his groomer, he is wonderfully engaging, but, soooo energetic lol x

AN APOLOGY!!

To everyone who has tried to contact me recently on Facebook messenger. FB sents an auto reply and then I don’t get notification of messages …. Something made me look today and I have many people to contact. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
I will work my way through it this afternoon. Really sorry for delay … what’s app or text message is maybe better xx.
A photo of a quick ‘thank you’ painting I did for a friend xx

Well my books are open! Please share

Yay .. I’m ready to accept some more commissions … pets, farm animals, wildlife. A4 size canvas and larger.
Also Dog grooming .. .. couple of bits of criteria to this … nice people/small dogs 😁 .

17 years of my own business Dog Grooming, within my own home, has given me the experience to recognise many character needs as well as coat needs .. garden time and a homely environment really does put my dogs at ease.
Peace and Love

Finally able to share this little treasure! How cheeky does Serrano look!
Was painted a while ago but I have only just been able to hand over to a very grateful and emotional owner.
Don’t think I will ever tire of experiencing the joy from someone receiving one of my paintings, even if highly charged with the sadness of loss and grief. x❤️
This is a little reminder of that friendly face, looking out for you upon arrival, or watching you leave the warm hay filled stable …..
Peace and love

FEBRUARY COMMISIONS NOW BEING TAKEN …..

It’s a snow day here in the Peak District. ❄️.
Which gives me opportunity to re-post some of my recent artwork and to inform everyone that I shall be able to take on some more commission work from February. 🙌🙌
My prices are still very reasonable and all work comes professionally framed
and finished ready to hang.
I’m happy to try and accommodate any creative ideas you may have …. So bring it on!! 🎨🖌️
Enjoy the snow …. I’ll be mostly staying indoors with the heating on!

Happy New year to all my clients and friends, two legged and four. Thank you for your loyal custom. Spud always makes his presence known upon your arrival so I figured a picture of him was appropriate!
Hope we’ve all had a good Christmas and see you all again soon in 2025
