Suki (aka Suki LaLa) is my friend Jo’s dog. She is a beautiful, chilled greyhound who brings such fun and laughter to those around her. Other dogs? She really couldn’t care less! JoJo? She adores!

‘Oscar’

Another early portrait and another beloved family doggo

‘Tzar’

This was my first ever coloured pencil pet portrait. It was created some time around the turn of the century!

Our dog Tzar. Well, he was my son Adrian’s dog and he was only our dog when Adrian was not around; we would then be dropped. We all loved him so much. He lived between our place in Victoria and with Adrian in Byron Bay, where he was well known around town … always with Adrian … sitting patiently outside doorways and generally hanging out with the locals.

We said our last goodbyes to him in 2006. (RIP Tzarby)
