Reference photograph

Sarah had commissioned me a couple of times to create 2 other portraits of her Boxer dogs, past & present and this portrait which shows herself & Bruno, who had passed away a few years ago, holds a very special place in her heart and wanted to commemorate her & Bruno's special bond.

Customer Testimonial

" Absolutely beautiful! X Made me cry, happy tears! Thank you Karen so very much, as always, for making my boy perfect in every way and capturing the very special bond we shared. Cannot thank you enough! Very pleased with all. Plaque perfect too! Lots of love to you xxx Sarah "

CREATING THE PORTRAIT:

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 a matching frame with plaque to match her 2 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 October, brought back home to Northumberland by myself and then posted out to Sarah after packing the portrait extremely well. I think this is a superb finish to a very special portrait.

Additional Orders:

Here are other portraits that the Commissionee asked me to produce for her. All have been completed in Coloured pencils and Bruno (middle right) was the first portrait that I completed of him which gave me good practice for this second portrait.
