My Inspiration

Drawing from life is very important if you want to create convincing illustrations and the inspiration for many of my drawings and painting comes from 3 very special animals!

Pippin

Mindy

Taffy

1 Pippin

Pippin, part Jack Russell, part Chihuahua, part cat. Loves food and warmth, doesn't do mornings.

2 Mindy

Mindy, Spanish Podenco rescue. Can reach most surfaces with a single bound. Her long snout is a great advantage when it comes to yoghurt and ice cream tubs.

3 Taffy

The youngest family member. Tolerated by the ladies, mostly. Obsessed with squeaky toys. His finest moment so far is destroying the front of the sofa to get to a chew toy.
