thanks naomi Smile

i'm busy painting a little hitler now (jack russel) and just received a request for a basset hound which i'm looking forward to - they have interesting faces and are real characters.
best wishes
mike

Do you need an artistic flair or background?

so far naomi i've had the portraits printed at photobox.co.uk on a matt stock, canvas prints are quite expensive and don't necessarily look any better for the extra expense.

i've been painting them for fun so far but anyone interested in a portrait can PM me to discuss a price which would include a % to brittany rescue Smile

annie, i think you would get on very well with the graphics tablet and software: http://www.ambientdesign.com/artrage.html thats bundled with it.

best wishes
mike

DPS Price inc. VAT: £34.99 + handling charge: £5.00 + VAT makes it more expensive than PC World i believe Wink

maths was never my strong point though lol Smile
