Spaniels definitely seem to be popular for me over the last year, not that I'm complaining as I do love them and as you know I have my own gorgeous Sprocker, Ned.
This was another Christmas commission, Jacqueline contacted me online to get a portrait done of their beautiful, elderly Spaniel Roobarb, although looking at her pics she still looks just the same as she did when she was younger!
As I'm sure I've said before the curly ears are always a challenge, definitely one of the more time consuming aspects of the painting and Roobarb has some of the curliest ears I've seen! This one did take me a while to paint, not just because of the curls but all the different shades in her coat as well as the detailing around her eyes and mouth but I enjoyed every bit.
