"Pug 1" Acrylic

These animals bring a smile to my face, as they most likely do to you too!
In this series of five I created (sold separately) my aim was to paint them with expressive marks while keeping them realistic and hopefully finding their character in the process.
I think they would like nice as a set, as a pair etc.

Acrylic on panel in black and white 25cm x 40cm (with a small touch of colour).

The frame is for display purposes only so that you can imagine this painting in a frame of your choice - this purchase is for the painting on panel only.

Postage:
My time is spent between Wales and Macedonia -spending 2 to 3 months a year in Wales (Pontypool my home town). It is likely that your painting will be sent from Macedonia with DHL who I have an account with and have been great to deal with.
To send art from Macedonia requires I get a ministry of culture document. I have been doing this for many years here, and usually takes 2 to 3 days to get it.
Although carriage to you is free, any charges incurred at customs - import duty, VAT and any other handling charge is the liability of the customer.

My art:
My business is in the U.K, and much of my inspiration comes from the U.K shores for my seascapes which I specialize in.
I have a background in portraiture and Illustration (college HND West Wales) so I like to paint various other subjects too including landscapes both in the studio and outdoors.
I paint most effectively with oils and acrylics, enjoying watercolour and drawing now and then, to throw in mixed media works also. I also enjoy experimenting with styles, though mainly I paint realistically.
I work mainly on canvas, but enjoy also panels which are quite useful for painting outdoors too.

About me:
My last college was HND design/wildlife Illustration part of Carmarthen college in 1994. Between then and 2003 I created various artworks including portraiture and murals, specializing in graphite pencil at that time.
In 2003 I began the process of learning to paint with oils and the subject of J Class yachts under the guidance of an excellent artist for 2 years. Soon after those 2 years I began to exhibit my seascape art in the U.K and Internationally. I have never stopped working with the sea until this day, my aim to simply get better at it, and to create more challenging scenes.
