Male Fawn Boxer dog pet portrait completed in Coloured pencils by Karen M Berisford

Fawn Boxer dog in Coloured pencils

MAX
10" X 12"

This portrait was ordered as a birthday gift of their beautiful Boxer who has sadly now crossed the Rainbow bridge. They emailed a collection of photographs of Max, allowing me to choose the one I thought would make the best reference photo. As soon as I saw the one that was chosen, I knew it was ideal. I just loved the sun sparkling in his eyes and knew that 'sparkle' would help make the final portrait. Hi mouth was adapted so as not to detract from the natural pose.

REFERENCE IMAGE

" Hi Karen, Max is absolutely amazing, it has put tears in my eyes! It's absolutely perfect!!!!
I can't believe how realistic he looks I'm over the moon with it thank you so much!!!!

By the way, my daughter cried when she saw the picture, said it was like he'd been brought to life again "

THE FRAMED PORTRAIT:

Here is the framed portrait that I feel really compliments a portrait such as this. The simplicity of the white double mount and deep frame coupled with non reflective glass ensures Max is the main focal point of the finalised piece. I think the Commissionee's framer did an excellent job.
