Working on a new original piece, and it's from a slightly different angle, from down below, looking up! Iit's fun working on a piece that is a little bit different - for example, I don't usually get to focus much on the muzzle area, but this is great as there is so much detail to be drawn in and this piece will really draw (pardon the pun!) you to that area.

Here are some work in progress shots, more to follow soon.

I've updated my commission pricing information to now cover a smaller portrait size - A5 - available from just £40!

As ever, always happy to discuss any potential commissions or provide quotations!

Attention!

No really, that's the name of this new original piece! I called this 'Attention' due to the look in the horse's eye - like he is paying attention and listening for the next aid.

I'm very much looking forward to the Society of Equestrian Artists annual exhibition. I've now posted my entry, the deadline is this Saturday. I won't find out if my entry is successful until October, so I will be keeping my fingers crossed until then!

Pleased to share a new orginal piece - and long overdue too! I plan on entering this into the Society of Equestrian Artists annual exhibition, taking place in November. The quality will be very high indeed, and all works must go through a selection process, so fingers and toes crossed!

As always, it was tough to come up with a suitable title, and thanks to all the lovely people who like my Facebook page, I had plenty of excellent suggestions to choose from. In the end, 'Listening for Lions' seemed appropriate!

With only 4 months to go until Christmas, time is running out to order your Christmas commissions! There are already a couple in the diary, so if you would like to commission me to draw your or your friends' horse, please get in touch!

Here are a couple of commissions from earlier in the year that didn't make it on to the blog!

I'm sure everyone is very much aware of the hike in prices to post something these days! Up until now my commission prices have included the cost of postage and packaging, but unfortunately with the higher costs associated with postage now, I can't continue to absorb this cost.

As of the 1st July, all new portrait commissions will attract an additional postage charge. Of course, all commission requests up until that date will have p&p charges included still in the overall cost!
