Here is Rocket 🚀 a 14.5 year old springer spaniel. I love how happy springer spaniels look with their big tongues hanging out.

This is a mini portrait 6 X 6” and looks so cute framed! Swipe to see the reference image of Rocket.

I have a couple of spaces left for May commissions. DM to book, or use my website alexandrasartwork.com

Here are mini portraits of 3 beautiful floofs; Susie, Rascal and Scamp. I cannot take the credit for @aoibheannmaddy ‘s idea of having each dog facing the same way and having them all within the same frame. It came up so nicely. This piece was created as a gift for her boyfriend who’s dogs sadly passed within a close proximity of each other. I’m sure they are running free together again somewhere ✨

Each piece is 6 X 6” pastel

Not for the faint of heart - See my previous post to read the love @absolutely_patsy has for Ollie.

Reading the line “Ollie is back in the living room where he belongs, with his family”. The impact and comfort artwork has, never ceases to amaze me. So grateful to be doing what I adore most.

Shout out to @fox_dublin for framing this piece. The colours perfectly compliment the artwork!

Billy ✨

This beautiful boy is no longer earth-side 🪽
Every night, Billy sat here watching TV beside his favourite person. Painting his eyes honestly felt like he was staring straight into my soul the entire time. I’ll miss having him in the studio.

“He was the best - so playful and loved by everyone. A bit of a celeb around where we live, everyone knew him”

Thank you @shannenoneill for trusting me with Billy.

Here are some wedding-related design work created in 2025. The wedding wreaths are a really beautiful way of showcasing favourite aspects of your relationship to guests. It is then a really cool art piece for after your wedding too!

Here is PJ ✨

The owners of PJ and Bruno (last image) are sisters. The ultimate compliment when one sister sees and wants what the other has 😆

Love seeing floofs by their paintings 📸

Grace and Mark ✨

I met Grace and Mark at the RDS wedding show back in 2024. I ended up working with them on a number of pieces through to 2026! A wedding wreath welcome design, live painting at their wedding, an oil painting of Grace and her mum and now a Valentines gift from Husband to Wife. I am beyond grateful to have been part of so many beautiful milestones along the way.

Varnish bringing LIFE back into these abstracts. It’s amazing how much saturation is lost as the paint dries. To think there was a time that I didn’t varnish at all 😳

Looking at framing options for these this week!

An update on Olliepop! This has been such a fun piece to create. Going against my usual instincts as an artist to place each brush stroke with perfection in mind.

Already looking forward to doing another piece in this style..

Started this piece back in 2024 and it’s been sitting to the side unfinished. Finally added more layers to it and loving it!! Aiming to finish it by the end of this month! Hold me accountable 😆

I’m so proud of these watercolour prints! Each one hand painted, scanned and printed onto A5.

They make the cutest gifts, especially if someone needs a little pick me up ✨

Newlyweds painting of Clara and Jim. How gorgeous is the reference image? A proper fairytale. I was lucky enough to see both their outfits in person!

I meant to say “on the other hand” but “that in turn” came out. Ain’t no way I was going to try record my train of thought again 😅 Already had to edit out so many um’s and eh’s.

Curious to know what you guys think.. ?

Paying for icloud storage because I have 100 photos of each piece with SLIGHT variations- they look the same but I can’t seem to choose a favourite.
As well as thousands of pets- I’m keeping every single one.

I love the freedom of creating a piece like this. Going with the flow, building layer by layer.

Two new watercolour pieces; “Silk & Speed” and “Day for Ducks”

I felt like both of these were appropriate to paint today- officially the year of the Horse, and also the amount of rain that has been hitting Ireland lately!

I only use watercolours when live wedding painting, but I can definitely see myself using them more often for smaller pieces.

Considering making prints of these… YAY OR NEIGH? 🐴

Swipe to see the original photo of this cutie. I think I managed to increase the quality accurately! I’m so grateful to @rachisla who has supported my artwork on multiple occasions- pieces and prints!

Rachael’s friends also came together back in 2022 and gifted her a piece of her beloved dog Danny, who was 16 at the time! I’ve attached him in the final slide.
