Doggy Visitors

Saturday 9th July – and we had two great wee doggy friends in the studio for the Pet Portrait Awards on behalf of Dogs Trust, Bailey the Scottie and Holly the Lhasa Apso.

Bailey came first!  She’s just two, and full of life and – jet black!  So getting the Nikon Df camera to focus on her was a bit of a challenge!  But we managed, and with some prompting from her humans, and a few special treats she was a real star.

Here she is…

Next came Holly.  Holly is an eleven year old Maltese Cross, with sore knees – but she’s so happy and friendly!  And what a poser!

Review time!

Sometimes it’s a good practice to look back at image one has made over the years, – with a critical eye!  Here’s a few I’ve been mulling over recently:-

IMG_3920

This image of the Playhouse Theatre, Derry/Londonderry was part of a commercial commission.  The brief was to show the effect of the lights on the wall opposite the Theatre.

Binnion

This simple image of Slieve Bunion, in Co Down, part of the ‘Mountains of Mourne’ range has been one of my very best sellers!  I’ve sold this image in framed prints, magnets, even mugs!

Landscape 1

This image of Ballycopeland Windmill in Co. Down is a real quirk, as anyone who knows it would realise!  It is of course, heavily photoshopped, to show the sun rising in the North!  Just for a wee change.

And finally, for this selection, an image that’s just a little more personal…

Dereliction 3

This image of Janette’s parent’s old kitchen, after they’d moved out of the farmhouse, was part of an exhibition at the Curve Gallery, Belfast.  I called it ‘Dereliction.’
