Horse portrait

This horse was painted in just black and white acrylics. It is a grey Lipizzaner horse. 

Size: 38x46 cm/15x18 inch.

Little green singer ( Serinus mozambicus )

Little finch in pencil with a hint of colour to give it more character.

Painting of Crested tit in acrylics

At the moment I'm working on a smal painting of a crested tit. I'll just use black and white. I have to loose all the detail and still give the impression of a 3D bird. In the background I'll make a treatrunk. 

Today I drew my first portret Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands

Instead of painting an animal I wanted to do something different. So I drew a portret of Queen Beatrix in charcoal. 

Glossy starling challenge.

It was a real challenge to get the shine in this glossy starling. In the green parts it was created by letting the white paper shine trough. In the purple/blue parts it was done with white paint. I like he wings better.

Painting Chinese White-Eye in watercolours

Today I painted a little Chinese White-eye in a flowering tree. I used only watercolours and a lot of water in the painting. I like the white eye in the centre.

Today I finished a cockatoo in watercolours.

Today I finished a chihuahua in acrylics

Boxer in acrylics

Today I painted a boxer in acrylics. It was the first time I used this paint but I like the result. I just used black and white paint.

Wall I painted for two sweet kids.

This week I was busy painting a wall for two sweet kids. The parents wish was a lot of animals in minimal surroundings. So I painted a polarbear and two pinguins floating on some ice that washes on shore on a tropical island. They also wanted a dog and an elephant so I had to be creative. LOL.

Old German shepherd

At the moment I'm working on an old German shepherd called Nanni. She is a 12 year old bitch and very sweet. The challenge is to get her sweet and older look in my painting.

I will post it in stages.

Some of the work I did this month.

Here is some other work I did this month.

This is a pitbull terrier I did in charcoal. 

This Pug is also in charcoal. He was my first drawing in years. This drawing motivated me to start again.

The whippet I did in watercolours. The eyes are the best part I think.

Today I finished the white cat with the blue eyes.

Finally! It was a lot of work and still it needs some although I'll call it finished.
