This is something I don't very often get to enjoy, but I love to see. Mr. Milo's owner was good enough to send me some images of the handsome model and his portrait. What a gorgeous boy he is!!
A drawing a day (or if I'm lazy, a week). If I'm not back in two weeks ... wait longer. Kick starting my step back into the art world and hope everyone enjoys! Artist in Milton Ontario specializing in Acrylic and Pencil Pet Portraits and Fine Art on Canvas. Some cartoons too!

Coloured Pencil Portrait - Jaida
Beautiful Jaida, finished a few days ago. This is an 8"x10" coloured pencil piece that was an absolute pleasure to complete.
I have been in the process of returning to 8"x10" pieces, instead of the 9"x12" pieces listed on my web site. For some reason, frames for 9"x12"s are almost non-existent now in the retail stores, and I prefer to create pieces that are ready to frame for my clients so that it is not necessary for them to go out and pay 100's of dollars for custom framing. Many of the frames that can be purchased through retail outlets are quite nice, and there is a large variety to choose from in the 8"x10" size.
It is a shame, because the 9"x12" is a really nice size, and the paper is readily available at art supply stores, but I would like to stick with a size that makes life easier for my clients. So there will be a small price adjustment to reflect the smaller size on my pricing page.

Portrait Contest
I thought it's about time I posted the information for entering the 5"x7" pencil portrait contest, so here we go.
This contest is for, as stated above, 1 free 5"x7" pencil (black and white) portrait - shipping included for Canada and US only. This portrait can be either a pet or a person. All I need from those entering is a clear, close up head shot of your pet/person of choice, and a little paragraph (a couple sentences) explaining who the pet/person is. Please send all files in JPEG format.
All submitted contact information (except first names) will be kept fully confidential. Please be aware I will be posting the first name of the winner, and the first name of the pet/person in the portrait on this blog, as well as an image of the final portrait and the photo that accompanies it (this info will also be posted to my website).
Please send all entries to:
juliesillustration @ hotmail.com (minus the spaces between the "n" and "@" and "h" of course, spaces are for anti-spam purposes only, sorry for the inconvenience).
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. This contest will be a random draw, and will be open from today, January 24th, 2010 to March 24th, 2010. The winner will be contacted and posted on this blog on March 25th, 2010.
