After 15 years of creating pet portraits and connecting with amazing clients and friends, my original page—Shirley’s Pencil Art—was sadly lost. Welcome back!

This is my fresh start, filled with new energy and excitement.

Hi everyone!! Hope all is well with you. Sorry, I've not been around much. I had a week of house, dog, cat, fish sitting last week, which I thoroughly enjoyed 4 dogs and 6 cats kept me busy and was a hard job eeping them quiet when we had that amazing storm the other night , did you have it?
Hears something that i have been chipping away at over the last few weeks. I think its finished, although i may add a few more critters at a later date or will it be overkill? What do you think? I'll add some close-ups underneath for you to have a gander at . I thoroughly enjoyed having a good old doodle. I used mostly Prismacolor pencils and a touch of acrylic paint. I've added a some pearlescent paint to the kingfishers and the dragonflies. Hope you like it. I've decided just to call it Another Woodland Wonder. I'm really chuffed with my trees; I've never really mastered them.
Next i have a run of requests that I'm juggeling whilst waiting on photos, and I really need to stock up on some slates, my mojo up and I went with some stuff we've been dealing with, it's getting there on the quiet and getting used to the new norm.
Hope that you are enjoying the good weather its soooo lovely to have some sunshine.
Anyways I'm waffling on and ive still lots to do before the day job .
If youd be interested in this piece do drop me a line the size is approx 50x 35 cm.
Enjoy the rest of your day Shirl x

Good morning lovely friends!!!
How was your Bank Holiday? I spent most of my time drawing, and I’m getting close to finishing my latest piece. I’m still waiting on some cat photos for several cats drawingsI was meant to start this month, so I’ll have a little jiggle around and crack on with the next request, then slot the cats in when they arrive.

I’ve also got a few cards to make ready for Marbury Merry Days this weekend — it’s a two‑dayer, so I’ll whip up some of the fantasy cards because they always go down well there.

For today, I’ll leave you with my colourful pebbles — a piece I drew a loooong time ago that found its forever home in the USA. It was my first artwork to travel overseas and I was absolutely tickled pink.

I’m off to doodle now, so I’ll catch you later.
Have the best day,
Shirl x

Good morning all! Here to brighten your day with my attempt at flowers on slate house plaques. I would love to get really good at Painting them. They make it look so easy on YouTube, don't they? I did try a rose once but it looked awful its not often i throw in the towel but i was pulling my hair out .
Lovely spot of sunshine today, yippee, makes you feel good doesnt it?
Ive a couple of jobs then back to doodling a new Woodland wonder design .
Have a lovely day all and thanks always .

Just jumping on to say hello!! its been a while hasnt it? We've had some personal stuff going on so both of our mojo have been all over the place. Still, you can't keep this girl down for too long. I've just started doodling something similar to this oldie. I loved doodling this piece and was tickled pink when it soon found a home. It stayed local, too, which is always nice. I went on to piece several similar pieces on house plaques. I was super busy with them for months. Soooo greatful. I'm enjoying having a good old doodle today its so much fun. I enjoy realistic, but doodling is so fun, no pressure to look exactly right, let's see how many critters i can get in my new piece.
Hope the sun is shining where you are and thanks always.
