TWO CUTENESS PLUS MUM – KRUGER PARK, SOUTH AFRICA

In May 2024, I visited Southern Africa for two weeks and had an amazing time. The highlight was visiting two national parks, Chobe National Park, Botswana and Kruger National Park, South Africa.  It was in Kruger National Park where, to the excitement of all those in our Safari jeep, I spotted a lioness and her two cubs playing around her with daddy lion asleep nearby.

I couldn’t wait to paint the image from the photo I took so this year I completed it. This painting took me 30 hours to paint over 4 months and completed it in October.

Too Cute for words was what I kept saying about these cubs but seeing Mum watch over her cubs was such a beautiful image that I simply had to paint it. So, I titled this painting “Two Cuteness plus Mum” as there were two cute cubs with Mum.

I hope you love my painting of these wild beasts in South Africa, as much as I loved painting them.

INDIE, A VERY MUCH LOVED 3 YEAR OLD CAVOODLE

Early May 2025, I was contacted through my website, by Natalia, asking me if I could paint a painting of her parents’ 3 year old Cavoodle, named Indie.

Natalie was given one of my paintings of her dog, Frankie, in April 2022 and loved the painting so much thought a painting of her parents’ dog would be a good present for her parents’ birthdays.

Indie, from the photos I received, looked like such a beautiful playful dog and I loved painting her with her bright eyes and enlightening face.

This painting is a gift to Grazyna and Jurek from their daughters Natalia, Iwona, Agnieszka and Gosia.

I hope you all enjoy my painting of Indie.

Lottie – Our Lovable Brown Kelpie Cross who loves to Lick

For Christmas 2021 I decided I would paint all my kids a painting of their special dogs. Since then, any new four pawed addition to our family deserves to have a painting of them hence I painted Lottie for James and Madi for Christmas 2024.

James and Madi bought Lottie to her forever home in July 2024.

The photo we ended up picking, for this painting, was of Lottie sitting in her backyard looking so earnestly at her dad, James. Lottie’s eyes, looking up, so open and curious.  As James and Madi live at Currumbin Waters on the Gold Coast, they take Lottie to the beach a lot, which she absolutely loves, hence, why I have placed her on the beach for this painting.

Lottie has a beautiful big personality, together with her energetic disposition and love for the beach, the ocean and her special orange ball. Licking humans is something she loves to do also, especially their legs and faces, and it is very hard to stop her doing this.  Lottie exemplifies a happy and vivacious love of life and takes in everything around her, especially her parents, James and Madi.

I hope you love my painting of Lottie. I really enjoyed painting her for both of you as she is a special girl and has a special place in my heart. I love her very much.

Enjoy Lottie and my painting of her. xx

Upon Reflection

Reflect Upon

The Powerful Owl – that is so Wise,

It stares at you, with its big bright eyes.

The strength of the branch,

The support that it gives,

How it is entwined within the community it lives.

 

Upon Reflection

Reflect Upon,

Your thoughts, your actions, your influence on others,

Upon outcomes, upon lives, upon the future of your brothers.

Be strong, be optimistic, be confident, Be Wise,

Be positive, be empowered  and above all be true

To yourself, those around you, your family and those in your crew.

 

 Reflect upon

The Image that you portray,

As our lives are entwined more than anyone can say,

Be a powerful Owl, with magnificent eyes,

And reflect upon your actions and if nothing else, Be Wise.

—————————————————————-

Upon Reflection

I hope you like my painting, Upon Reflection, which I have painted for the Pat Cronin Foundation –

My wish is for the onlooker to reflect on this wise Powerful Owl, and to think about their own thoughts and actions and how they can influence others to be positive, empowered, strong, optimistic, confident, and mostly Wise.

SINDY, SHAYE, SAINT, AND GHOST

I was commissioned in January 2022 by Brian King, to paint his daughter Rebecca’ beautiful dogs for her birthday on the 6^th of February.

As this painting and present was a surprise for Rebecca for her birthday, I was given a few photos of her dogs, but the main photo was Shaye, Saint, and Ghost in front of a Christmas tree. I had to superimpose Sindy in the photo to make it complete.

I absolutely loved painting Sindy, Shaye, Saint, and Ghost and capturing their cuteness, cheekiness, individual personalities and their loving, gorgeous natures.

Thank you so much Brian, for commissioning me to paint Rebecca’s beautiful dogs, as even though I haven’t met them, I got to know them so much whilst painting them.

COLBY

I decided for Christmas 2021 I would paint all my kids and their partners a painting of their dog.

So, I painted Colby for my son James’ girlfriend, Madi.

Madi and her family adore their Golden Retriever – Colby who is about 6 years old and loves going for walks and swimming in any water he can find.

As this painting was a surprise for Madi, and as I couldn’t find any great photos on social media, I ended up taking a photo of Colby whilst on a walk at Kangaroo Ground Aqueduct. One of Colby’s traits is to walk with his lead in his mouth, hence I had to take a photo of him doing this. Colby loves going on heaps of walks especially in parks and along the River at Warrandyte.

This is what I wrote on a card placed on the back of her painting. “I hope you love my painting of Colby, with trees, grass and a blue sky surrounding him. I know he loves his walks. I have really enjoyed painting him for you, taken from a photo I took from our walk in Kangaroo Ground. Colby is a special boy and loved so much. Enjoy him and his painting. Love Di xxx”

Colby has a beautiful big personality as well as being a big dog.  Colby is very energetic dog and exemplifies a happy and vivacious love of life and embraces all around especially Madi and her family.

LOLA – OUR VIVACIOUS GROODLE

I decided for Christmas 2021 I would paint all my kids a painting of their dog.

So, I painted Lola for my stepdaughter and her wife, Elise and Li-Kim.

Elise and Li-Kim adore their Lola and hence have many photos of her on Instagram.

The photo I ended up picking was of Lola sitting on Li-Kim’s knee but as they have lived and live near the beach, Lola had become a lover of the water and beach life, hence I painted her in a beach setting, at Altona.

This is what I wrote on a card placed on the back of her painting. “I hope you love my painting of Lola, at the beach, which I know is her favorite place. I have really enjoyed painting her for you both. Lola is a special lady and loved by all of us. Enjoy her and her painting. Love Di xxx”

MOE – Jarryd’s French Bulldog

I decided for Christmas 2021 I would paint all my kids a painting of their dog.

So, I painted Moe for my gorgeous stepson, Jarryd who is living in Hoi Chi Ming in Vietnam.

I had to get the painting of Jarryd’s French Bulldog; Moe completed first as I had to send it to Vietnam.

After going through all the photos of Moe on her Instagram Page, I found the perfect one of her sitting upright in her very comfortable dog cushion.

Sadly, I haven’t met Moe and can not wait to cuddle her.  Moe’s cuteness, running style, determination, and simple love that she gives out is what I love about her but mostly the love she has given to Jarryd and completeness that they share is so special.

MAYBEL & BEAU

Happy Birthday John Mann.

I was commissioned in June 2021 by my beautiful friend and walking partner Claire to paint her and her families two dogs for her husband, John’s birthday in July. I have known Claire and her family for many years now and they have always had dogs as additional four legered members of their family. Beau, a black and white border collie, is over 10 years old and has so much character and loves his special red scarf/handkerchief around his neck.  Mabel on the other hand is a 14-month-old brown and white Border Collie x Kelpie who I have known since she could start walking with us. Both Mabel and Beau and my two black and white Border Collies, Frankie and Georgia, walk most Wednesdays at the Kangaroo Ground Aqueduct walk.

I have loved painting Mabel and Beau in the background of their home in Kangaroo Ground, Melbourne.  They are sitting on the cement seat that Mabel loves sitting on. Both dogs are so gorgeous, and each has their own character.

Thank you so much Claire for commissioning me to paint Maybel and Beau for your wonderful husband John for his birthday on the 18^th of July.

LILAH, A VERY SPECIAL BULLMASTIFF

I was commissioned in October 2020 by Alex Buruma to paint Lilah, for her friends Phoebe and Luke, in memory of their special mate who passed away in August, this year.

This is a transcript given to me by Alex…..

“Lilah was a bullmastiff, adopted by Phoebe and Luke at 8 weeks old after being delivered by Caesarean by Aunty Kate. She had a heart condition but that never slowed her down. She survived cancer operations twice in her life and always bounced back quickly. She had a very long tongue and solid underbite! Lilah loved food, going to the building site with Luke, riding shotgun in his ute, sleeping on the couch and holidays to Inverloch. She had a special groan she made when she was hungry and would shake hands when she wanted something. She was a great running buddy for Phoebe and kept her company working from home. Lilah knew only happiness and positivity; through her eyes the world was a wonderful place. She lived just under 7 years and is now keeping Roxy and Steffi company.

 ‘Everyone thinks their dog is the best, but we all know it was actually Lilah’. 23/8/2020”

 I loved painting Lilah, and as I painted her, her personality came out, which was beautiful. I hope Phoebe and Luke love this painting and smile at her every day, as she watches over you both.
