Tri-colour Shetland Sheepdog in Coloured pencils

Picture

SAM
​
10" X 12"

Final pencil portrait of a tri coloured shetland sheepdog commissioned in coloured pencils
This beautiful little Shetland Sheepdog called Sam, was part of a trio of portraits all produced in Coloured pencils.  I went up to meet him and his 2 sisters and took my camera so I could capture some quality photographs and spend some time with them to get an idea of their characters. Sam's eyesight had sadly deteriorated over a period of time and he could not see well and so was uncomfortable with a stranger trying to take photographs of him, so I stepped back and took what I could without stressing him too much. Sam passed away, age 15 on the 3rd February 2014 and so this portrait is extra special to the owners who said it was " a lasting memory and fitting tribute to a wonderful dog who gave them so much" 
Created: January 2014

"  Thank you for the wonderful portraits of our gang, especially of  Sam now he is no longer with us, it will be a lasting memory and fitting tribute to a wonderful dog who gave us so much. Thank you again!  "

Additional Orders:

Here are the commissionee's other three portraits. Two of which I worked on at the same time as Sam, plus the most recent member of the family, Jaxx. All were completed in coloured pencils
