My Painting is called "Friends" and it is acrylic, which is what I usually do my animal portraits in, although I have also done some in pen and ink and watercolour. I haven't tried them yet in pastels. As I live on a farm I am lucky to have quite a bit of subject matter, but I also go out and find animals to photograph so I can paint them.
