I probably draw more Cockapoo portraits that any other breed; their calm nature and low shedding makes them a very popular choice for families. As an artist, my favourite characteristic is those gorgeous curls, and I love trying to capture their fun characters – particularly in their eyes.

Alfie here is now 10 years old, yet still acts like a Puppy! No sock is safe if left unattended and he just loves meeting new people, he really is so full of life and character, his owner says ‘we are lucky to have him’.
