Finished Portraits

People Collage :D

Posted on by Zara Toms
This time of year is always busy. I'm working on lots of surprise Christmas commissions which I can't wait to share with you in the New Year. I also have some exciting wildlife pieces planned. Some nice projects I can get stuck into. I am going to try my hardest to get my own painting of Maisey and Lexie finished. It's 80% there so I really do just need to finish it...

Meet Purdy :)

Posted on by Zara Toms
I can now share with you this super smiley, adorable and crazily cute Cockerpoo, Purdy. I had the pleasure of drawing the families cat Harley last year in colour pencils. For Purdy's portrait her owners wanted it to look similar to Harley's drawing so we opted for the white paper and no background but went with pastels rather than colour pencils.

When dry and varnished, this portrait will be m...

‘Sumatra’s Rarity’

Posted on by Zara Toms
I have been working on this special acrylic painting in between commissions. It's been a painting I have loved to see come to life and creating the vibrancy and depth of this piece was my aim right from the start. I have loved working on these round canvases and being able to hang then completely flat onto the wall really does make this incredible animal feel more 3D. Original for sale: £295...
