In my 'senior years' I was able to take up drawing, something I had always wanted to do, but never had the time. I had a couple of lessons from a professional, but I am mainly self taught from YouTube and Patreon channels, passing the London Art College 'Pet Portraits' online course with distinction in 2022.
I recently opened an Etsy shop Pastelpoochesbyhelen.Etsy.com selling greeting cards with different breeds of dog on, which I hope to build up slowly but surely. The original artwork is drawn using pastel pencils on Claire Fontaine Pastelmat paper and professionally printed onto blank greeting cards for any occasion.
I have recently added a new card to my Etsy shop featuring 'Dulcie' a dog saved by Soi Dog Foundation a non-profit organisation for the welfare of stray dogs and cats in Asia. Dulcie was destined for the barbaric meat trade, saved by Soi Dog in 2014 and my friend Catherine adopted her in 2015. She came over to the UK 2015 and has had the most amazing life since. To help other dogs like Dulcie, any net profits from the sale of this card will be donated to Soi Dog Foundation UK charity no 11769305.
