You've been productive! Most of what I have been painting lately is postal card sized, and I have been giving them out to folks as a way of showing that I appreciate them, their friendship and what they are doing. You are much more ambitious than I am. I have a horrible time when I try to to portraiture; yours whether animal or people have a wonderful "feel" to them! Thanks for sharing them!!
I second what hap said, and I think one of your secrets with the portraits is how your deftness with drawing and painting eyes. I can see right into these "windows into the soul", whether people or animals.

Thanks both. One of the things Charles Reid did was always start with the eyes.
What kind of blue paint do you use? There are so many to pick from! Thanks, Peter Darlington
Ultramarine Blue Light and cerulean Blue mainly. I also like Turquoise (PB16).
