Dogs gallery

I have done many paintings of dogs for myself, friends and family, plus a few commissions. You won't find any of these paintings in the shop - as they are very personal - intended for the best dog people. I can paint or draw your dog in any number of styles - to suit your dogs character and what you like. Please get in touch as I would be happy to take commissions.

The Approach - McGregor at the farm, Kendall, NSW

Oil on canvas, 45 x 90cm

This is my Uncle Alan's dog McGregor, who regularly features in the legal news letter "Benchmark".

I improvised the landscape based on a number of photos of the farm.

Zooming Puppy - Bojangles visits the farm, Kendall, NSW

Oil on canvas, 45 x 90cm

This puppy - named Bojangles - visited my Uncles farm and zoomed around their paddock, upended their flower beds and created chaos.

The "zoomies" are the best !

Keeping an Eye on Things

Oil on canvas, 50 x 60.5 cm

My hyper aware kelpie dog, Amie is surveying our yard. In her eye you can see a reflection of the pool and surrounding trees. I painted this on a canvas which had a black underpainting.

Painted September, 2022

This painting won the Peoples Choice award in the Royal SA Society of Arts members exhibition in December 2023 - "Factor 50".

It now hangs proudly in our entranceway, beautifully framed by husband, Steve.

Here's Amie

My kelpie dog Amie sits with me in my studio in the chair she has claimed as her own.

Beau and Billy

Mural, Honeymoon Vineyard

These two farm kelpies are so much loved at the Honeymoon vineyard in Echunga, in the Adelaide Hills. I painted this as part of a much larger project, with mural artist Lucinda Penn - "Lcnd".

The dogs are my work with some good advice from Lcnd. It was a crazy challenge painting on the corrugated iron. I think it worked out well.

Since doing this mural Beau has sadly passed away but he is always there in spirit - and in red on the shed.
