Springer Spaniel painted in acrylics

BUDDY
11" X 14" on 3mm Gessobord

This portrait was created from a mock up of 3 photos to create the composition. It was decided to superimpose a different head onto the body in this image as the original photo looked anatomically incorrect due to the photo being taken from above and a little too close - however the cut and paste images although it appears rather untidy in the reference photo, allowed me to create a highly effective painting and gave the Commissionee a good idea of how the finished piece would look.

Customer Testimonial

" I'm sitting looking at Buddy in pride of place on the wall, photo attached! It is absolutely lovely and it had the desired effect on Steve when he unwrapped - there were tears!! Everyone that has seen it has said how amazing it is with the amount of fine detail and so Buddy. If I manage to get a decent photo of Buddy next to it I will send it on!

Thank you once again, it is lovely to have a painting of Buddy forever. "

Springer Spaniel painting in a brown wooden frame

Framed Painting

This portrait was ordered as unframed as the customer preferred to have it framed by a local framer. Acrylic portraits are treated with a varnish upon completion and unless they are being hung somewhere that requires additional protection, they do not need glass.

The customer chose this brown wooden frame that compliments Buddy's brown colouration perfectly.
