Sue asked me to do another portrait of her beloved Maisie. I was unsure (as always) and started unconvinced, doubting on how to represent Maisie’s fluffiness…
She does look like she just had her hair clipped;)
I’d like to draw with a more franc ‘coup de crayon’ but I’m really enjoying learning how to create subtle values. And She made me laugh!
And so, because I wasn’t totally happy, I had to try another one. I traced the shape of her body first to really get her. And then worked very fast! I’m happy with her energy!!

Hi Caro, I love how your magic ing Maisie onto paper brings her alive. I can feel the energy in the second drawing. Has my heart swell….thank you xx
I know!! I was so excited to feel her in the 2nd drawing!! I’m going to try another one just to see where it goes!!
The 2nd one was fab now hanging in Piha home…Maisie’s other family x
