Benji - a character portrait


Sometimes there are animals whose personalities are so strong that it automatically shows when you paint them.

This little guy - Benji, a Yorkie x Norfolk Terrier - thought he was the size of a Rottweiler even if he happened to be small!

This was foremost in my mind while I was painting him, trying to capture his feisty character.

  1. Hello Judy - my first contact in Egypt even if you are British (English?). Clicked over to all three of your blogs from your lovely comment on my sheep watercolour post. Really enjoyed reading through all three - great quicky recipe for the chicken left overs and I join you with the spider paranoia however tiny they are - but then I arrived at your artsy blog and wowed at your results. Look forward to seeing more and hearing of your lovely life in Egypt.
