        picture, a portrait of something on paper or canvas – there are so many other
        possibilities, from stones, wood, porcelain or Easter eggs. And the ‘instruments’ you can
        use are also very different, from different paint brushes and pencils to feathers or fingers,
        depending on the material for colouring you use, from oil and acrylics to chalk, wax
        colours of natural colouring materials like the juice of a plant.



        But the two passions, one for the hound and the other for ‘catching’ their beauty in art
        have accompanied me over the years. And catching is a word I chose because I prefer
        working in front of the actual object to copying it from a photo, even if sometimes there is
        no other possibility. Drawing a sketch of these strong and beautiful, elegant and light-
        footed Oriental hounds is an exciting pleasure that I hope I will be enjoying for many
        more years.
