Pennie painted her first pet portrait, her cat Katie,  when she was twelve. Following her painting of her beloved Hungarian Wirehaired Viszlas, ZsaZsa and Eva [www.starshot.co.uk]  in 2016 Pennie received many requests to paint animal portraits including dogs, cats (large and domestic), rabbits and even hamsters so Pennie’s Pet Portraits was launched in September 2017,  since when she has completed all the animals in the portrait gallery.

 

Pennie works  in pastel, both soft and oil, acrylic or watercolour,  whichever  she finds best for getting to grips with her  subject. She  enjoys the intimacy that working in pastel creates.
