Myself with the final drawing

Reference image:

This reference image is one of those rare photographs where I only used the one image to work from, as it was such a great composition. I lightened the face, warmed up the tones a little and removed the chain to avoid any distractions.

Customer Testimonial:

" An amazingly talented lady who brings your precious furbabies to life.
Having lost our gorgeous Poppy very suddenly in June aged only 6 having her portrait done seemed a fitting tribute.
Karen has managed to capture her soul and we are so happy to have our little girl home x "

This was the 2nd portrait commissioned by the owner to match her first booked portrait of another Boxer dog named Poppy (see the bottom of the page) The stance was chosen so that they would 'mirror' each other when hung on the wall.

" Such am amazing likeness of my "one in a lifetime" girl....there are not enough words to describe just how much we adore this old girl. Thank you Karen for doing such an amazing job, I am one very, very proud mummy - cant wait to get her framed and hanging in pride of place x "
