My name is Angie Wood and I live on a narrowboat on the beautiful Oxford canal.
A long time ago in the eighties I studied Art and Design at Goldsmiths College and went on to be a paste up artist and then a graphic designer. I’ve never stopped painting and drawing though – I painted pet and animal portraits for a while and over the past two years have begun creating small oil paintings of vintage objects, textiles and flowers. I collect items from fleamarkets to paint and my little narrowboat is getting fuller all the time! I’m particularly delighted by colourful patterns on textiles and ceramics and I also love painting reflective surfaces. I’m usually attracted to items from the early part of the twentieth century, which bring back memories of my great aunts’ and grandmother’s cosy houses. My artistic aim is to pay homage to the things I paint by observing them as closely as I can, and to create something beautiful that will hopefully make people as happy as I was when I was making it!

Oh I love this sketch, so Real. I have two labs who assume this pose quite regularly - I really enjoy your blog!
Aaah your a dogwalker that's it!
I bet your looking just as exhausted as the dog. hehehe
I am just kidding, as Sandy says it's soo live like and yet so well drawn. When you listen real good you almost can hear his groaning.
Thanks Sandy and René - yes I do look like that when I come back from a long walk!
Your dog sketches are especially wonderful!
I just found your blog and I love your low key images. This is a lovely drawing of your dog.
