Wow what a year I have had…
Since launching on January 9th 2021, I have had the greatest pleasure in meeting some fabulous clients and their beautiful animals. With a gentle push from family and friends, I joined the artistic world of watercolour painting and launched Watercolour Whispers. (Named because I mainly paint in watercolour and like many animal whisperers, I felt I could find the peace and calm in every animal I painted for their devoted owners!!)
Receiving my first commission from a total stranger was (I admit) a very scary feeling. Could I get the likeness, would they be happy with the result, could I capture their beloved pets character in my style? Thankfully I could say yes to all the questions and doubts and once packaged and sent off, the gratitude I received left me warm and fuzzy inside.
Twelve months on I can finally show you my largest and full bodied commission that I actually completed late summer but couldn’t show until now due to it being a Christmas present.
My client wanted me to capture the independent, confident calf with her mother on a 20” x 30” portrait, allowing me plenty of time to fulfil this beautiful painting for her husband‘s Christmas gift.
I have been so lucky in meeting so many wonderful owners and creating unique portraits of their pets and look forward in meeting many many more in 2022!
Happy New Year to you all!
