KITA
​12" X 12" on 3mm Gessobord

Commission details:
PORTRAIT COMPLETED:
August 2016
Kita had recently passed and her owner asked me to do a portrait of her as a gift to his wife. They had few photos and those they did have was lacking in detail. I was able to work from one photo, but had to search online for more references to ensure her colouration was natural, as the reference image had been taken with flash which saturates colour and causes a loss of detail. It is very challenging to do this as it can end up looking like a different dog but luckily they loved the finished piece!

As Kita had passed, they were unable to access any further photos and they only had images of her that had been taken indoors with flash. I had to search the internet to download as many images of Akita dogs as possible and use the colouration from these images to adapt Kitas painting.

Customer Testimonial:
"  Hi Karen, I just wanted you to know that I absolutely love my painting of Kita.  
Thank you so much, you have done the most amazing portrait of him.
He was my best friend and my little boy and the painting has been hung in the living room so we can all admire him every day!
Thank you again, xx   "
