Male fawn boxer dog pet portrait completed in coloured pencils by UK artist Karen M Berisford

Reference photograph

I was approached by Sarah for the first time to create 2 pencil portraits of her beloved Boxer boys Lennox & BRUNO. She absolutely adores Lennox and was heartbroken when she lost Bruno her previous Boxer and so I worked on both. Sarah had a large collection of photos of Lennox that it was difficult to choose her favourite but she chose this one and I too thought it captured him so well.
Sarah also wanted her portraits framed too although I don't offer this service as a rule simply because of the possibility of damage in the post but for a portrait this size, it worked out well.

TESTIMONIAL:

" Omg!! Lennox :) :) Totally totally beautiful! WOW! Very, very life like, I am so very pleased.
Thank you so much Karen xxxx "

THE CREATION PROCESS

THE FRAMED PORTRAIT

Sarah the commissionee, asked if I was able to frame both portraits (framing is optional). She selected her preferred moulding from options I provided her with and also requested a name plaque too. The artwork was double mounted with a matching top mount and a gold mount beneath that the name plaque was adhered too before sealing inside the frame. Upon receipt, Sarah sent me a photo of Lennox along side his framed portrait.

Additional Orders:

Here are other portraits that the commissioner asked me to produce for her. All have been completed in coloured pencils and Bruno (2nd image) was the first portrait that I completed of him, which gave me good practice for the third portrait (far right) Click any of the images to follow progress.
