It is not just dogs anymore! Begun as a daily blog in 2008, I am featuring my gift portraits. They are one of a kind, original art work, created to hang in homes and sit on office desks to bring the presence of a beloved pet (or family member) to mind. They are NOT for reproduction of any form. Any use other than personal requires a written contract and licensing of rights. PLEASE contact me for any of my art services.my email: deejaystar@yahoo.com.

I love this pastel. Your art is all so free and quick. I wish I could loosen up a little!
Thank you Sally!
This is a fun style. If you want to try to loosen, give it a go:
Draw the basic outline on watercolor paper. Take some old acrylics or watercolor and slurp them all over, use the complement under a color, use a darker adjacent and scrub them with a coarse house paint brush. When you draw over it, you find a lot more freedom. Never do a critical piece, just play.
I do a workshop on the style and everyone is so afraid of failing! Enjoy the possibility of success and you will NEVER fail!
OOOO! Thankyou for the tips I am gonig to have a play with your technique!
