Lennox - Brindle boxer dog

Picture

​This is Sarah's 4th pencil portrait from me. It is such an honour to be asked to do a portrait of someone's special Pet but when a customer returns, I know I have done a good job for them. This is the 2nd portrait I have now produced of Lennox, although this image differs rather a lot from his first PORTRAIT - All 4 portraits were framed to match and completed by the dedicated team at Brampton Framers in Chesterfield.

MEDIUM: COLOURED PENCILS
SIZE: 8" X 10"

SUPPORT:  Mid Grey 300gsm Ursus
COMPLETED: FEBRUARY 2015

THE CREATION PROCESS

The Commissionee has a huge collection of photos of Lennox and so I left her to choose the reference photo.  The one she selected shows Lennox's gentle features and very different to the first portrait I completed of him, which was important.  The photo, although taken in natural daylight which is always appreciated, was a little over exposed and changed his colouration somewhat, luckily I had access to many photos of Lennox to ensure I recreated his natural colouration as well as adding the fine details which can sometimes be lost when taking a photo with a mobile phone.

ADDITIONS TO THE ORDER:

Due to the possibility of the glass in a portrait frame getting damaged in transit and as glass is not insured as a rule, I do not offer framing for my pencil portraits if they are to be posted out to a destination, however from time to time if a customer is prepared to take the chance I am happy to do this.  Sarah wanted the framing including plaque to match her 3 previous portraits (see images at the bottom of this page) The framing was done by Brampton Picture Framing in my old birth town of Chesterfield when I visited in February, brought back home to Northumberland by my Dad when he visited in April and then posted out to Sarah after packing the portrait extremely well.  I think this is a superb finish to a very special portrait.

TESTIMONIAL FROM THE CUSTOMER:

Absolutely beautiful Karen,  Just stunning! So detailed, hair and those eyes - Thank you so very much for doing my boy, amazing work and so Lennox!! Please thank the Framers too, xxxxxxx
