This is a place where I regularly post personal artwork, good, bad or indifferent.
The characters that crop up regularly in this blog are husband – Robin, eldest teenager and only daughter – Flo, next teenager and eldest son – Tom, teenager second son – Hugo, five year old third son – Xavier, and red Staffordshire Bull Terrier – Rufus.
I'll try to reply wherever you comment but if I don't it's only because I'm overwhelmed with running a family and earning a living.
My two eldest have started a business venture selling artwork (mainly my paintings) to raise money for university. Please visit their site, Oakley Gallery to see what they are selling now.
If you want to buy prints of anything you see here or have any requests please send an email to flo at oakleygallery dot com

Julie, I adore the face in this bottom sketch. You did an excellent job with this. Those eyes are wonderful and I love the bend in the ears. :o)
I think they are great too! I can almost see you sketching as fast as you can. Great capture.
LOL - I've had the same problem with mine - that's why all my sketches of them are of them asleep! You've done a brilliant job capturing this pup!!
I think you did a great job..the last one is my favorite..cant beat those adoring doggy eyes...I have a sheaf of drawings like the first one of the cat today who would not hold still and never stopped the same way twice...alotof headless cat drawings...lol..but its fun isnt it??
SUPER job, Julie!!! I love how you've caputured all those various poses!
I tried bending my creaky knees to get down to Rufus's level - and telling him not to go to sleep - because the previous time I'd tried, he'd been asleep. The trouble is they will move if they're awake. There are a few more but these were the best of the bunch
Awww. Rufus is a sweetie. 8-]
What a handsome boy!
I love the sketches of him rolling around.
Kung Hei Faat Choi in the year of the dog!
BTW everyone loves your card.

Great drawings of Rufus!
