The intense stare of a galgo with fabulous ears and a heart of gold. 

This is beautiful Sirkka, a black galgo espanol who lives with a pack of adopted galgos in Finland, all rescues from Spain. 

If you would like to commission a similar portrait of your dog please get in touch.

This is painting number 1 of 2021, and therefore my warm up painting for the start of the year! 

The hound, ever the optimist, sees light at the end of the tunnel, even if it’s just a very small spot. The hare continues to look back, not quite believing what she is seeing...

This painting is on a canvas panel which I painted totally black before painting the hare and hound. The greyhound inspired my brindle galgo Espanol (Spanish greyhound) has black skin under her soft grey mask so painting white over the black gave just the effect I was looking for. There is a detail image of the painting below. 

It is possible to have the painting framed in the dark wooden frame as shown below with hanging fixings on the back so it is ready to hang straight on your wall.

This oil painting was in a series of 10 Hare and Hound artworks and perhaps you can see how my imagination was starting to run, with the hare urging the hound "faster faster". It is up to you the viewer to decide the story, why, what, when?

The original painting found a super home in the US and I decided to make it available as a fine art print details about the print are below and if you would like to purchase click this link >>>

The idea for the Hare and Hound Series was inspired by my adopted galgo Espanol (Spanish greyhound) an ex-hunting dog from Spain, used for hunting hare and coursing. She lives in retirement now, but walking with her early morning and late evening we often see the neighbourhood hare population. As my galgo is always on the leash they seem to know they are safe and usually stick around while we pass. It's just a nice thought to think of some kind of cooperation between the species - the hunter and the hunted.

We find ourselves under restrictions again, spending more hours working from home. So, time to think about sprucing up the home office! This cheeky greyhound watching over you while you work is sure to bring a smile. The minimalistic style and neutral tones with a white background mean it is an easy fit whatever your current decor. 

This is an original acrylic painting on gallery wrapped canvas. I have neatly painted the sides so it does not necessarily need a frame. It has hanging fixings on the back so it is ready to hang straight on your wall.  Information about this artwork including the price you will find here >>>

The painting was inspired by my adopted galgo Espanol or Spanish greyhound! I love the shapes she makes with her elegant slim body. You can browse other greyhound original paintings and art prints on this website under the 'Artworks and Fine Art Prints' tab in the menu.

Most of the time I am painting in a realistic style, so to do something different I picked up my broken palette knife. The break in the blade has made a jagged point and I used this to dip into the black acrylic and created some simple lines of a long legged Spanish greyhound carrying a hare sitting back on her loins.

The resulting painting (below) was the last to be finished in 2020, but became my most liked image of last year. I will show some of the work in progress paintings in a blog post later.
