New Print Launch - Boris the Cob!
My painting of Boris, the Cob is now available as a fine art Print and greeting card! Find out who Boris is and watch his portrait story.
I am happy to report Boris, the cob is now available as a fine art print (in a range of sizes & finishes) & a greeting card!
I was introduced to Boris, the cob, in 2021. He is a sensitive soul with a peculiar fear of plastic bags which, on one occasion, caused him to jump sideways onto a passing car!
Full charge in a hunt, he is nothing if not enthusiastic. He is affectionately known as the 'slightly malcoordinated tank' being big and a little on the clumsy side.
I painted him in his winter coat & was completely mesmerised by all the shifting textures and colours I found there.

Kovu's Story
Discover the story behind my portrait of Kovu - just one of the paintings to feature in my new exhibition at Putney Library, opening tomorrow!
Today I'm spotlighting my portrait of the lovely Kovu.
I worked closely with Kovu’s owner Amy to get to the heart of his story, exploring his character and passions as well as the special points of reference in Amy and Kovu’s relationship. His portrait was a celebration of all these things.
The reference image we decided upon, with his lion-like locks, was the perfect nod to the origins of his name, inspired by the character from Lion king 2. The mini tennis ball and paddle board hanging from his collar also paid tribute to two of his favourite pastimes.
The beaded collar, a special gift from Amy’s father in Kenya, and usually hidden by Kovu’s fur, was placed centre stage as an imagined addition to the strap of his body harness. Finally, the date 22.11.20 was added to the disc at his collar to commemorate the day Kovu joined his family.
Come and take a look at this portrait in person at my new exhibition, opening tomorrow at Putney Library!
