Basket of Puppies

Original Painting Medium: Pastel

My first dog, a terrier cross called Cindy, was the proud mum of these cute little pups. Playful and energetic they kept me very busy for a couple of months. In between the play sessions, I took the opportunity to photograph them. I never imagined that twenty years later I would draw these pups and produce a 'Basket of Puppies' Fine Art Print and Greetings Card from my pastel portrait.

Cindy becaming pregnant was not planned and thankfully all pups went to good homes, but I learned about animal welfare and soon realised how many unwanted pups there are in the world.
