You are one very talented lady!

@pandorasecho Thanks Dixie. I was wondering whether to wait until it was framed but that might take a while so posted it unframed.

[Pam Knowler]

Well done Sally this portrait of Kaela will be great when its framed and on the wall!! So clever!!

Did you paint this? Wonderful portrait of your dog. Is it the grown up version of the puppy you use with your name?

[Sheila G]

Wow, beautifully done.

[Gillian]

Stunning, Sally! Well done!!

[Sally Ings]

@shepherdmanswife It was done using a combination of oil pastels (which are a bit like crayons) and coloured pencil. This is the adult dog of my profile picture. I have added a link of the picture I used as reference.

@annied Thank you! I prefer using the oils to the soft pastels. Although soft pastels definitely work very well when doing animal portraits!
