Other peoples beasts.

We do have greyhounds in the North East of Scotland, the area of Buchan, where I live, hence the blog title, I am sure has many.  A neighbour walks two and trains them, he gets to keep one to himself, and the other goes off to a racing 'stable'.

The one I did a painting of actually lives in Lincolnshire and is owned by a friend of mine.  Not a dog person myself, I do enjoy drawing and painting greyhounds and whippets, there is just something about them that appeals.  But I dont think they would mix well with cats....


Harvey, painting of, has gone to his owner.

Hen Obsession.

One of my favourite subjects to paint are hens.

  





I mainly use water colour, but also enjoy using pen and ink.

We used to keep hens and I found them fascinating.
