Brindle Boxer dog in Coloured pencils

BRUCE
10" X 12"

Bruno had sadly passed away a couple of years earlier and Sarah, the commissionee wanted a keepsake of him. Although there were many photos of Bruno, there were none that I could get good, clear details from and was unsure of his natural colouration, so this one was chosen to be the best and I ensured I adapted it using photographs in my Boxer dog reference library to try and create an overall balance.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL

Oh wow! Karen, I've got tears in my eyes writing this, crying. Miss him dearly. You have done Bruno beautifully.
Thank you so so much! from the heart xx

ADDITIONS TO THE ORDER:

Sarah the Commissionee, asked if I was able to frame her portraits before posting them out to her - framing is optional (T & C's apply) and she was able to visit my framer's website to choose her own moulding choice, leaving me to choose the mounting options. Sarah also opted to have a name plaque added to her order too.

FINAL FINISH:

This is the completed portrait which is double mounted with a Gold lower mount and Light grey upper mount to compliment the paper tone that the Artwork is placed on. The name plaque is attached to the bottom gold mount and the top mount has a window cut out to avoid the plaque touching the Artwork or scratching the glass. Here I am looking rather pleased with the framed piece, I think it compliments the portrait perfectly.

Additional Orders:

Here are other portraits that the commissionee asked me to produce for her. This was the first portrait I completed of Bruno. The second portrait of him was with his owner, Sarah.
