PORTRAIT COMPLETED:
April 2016

This is Sprout, a little white deaf Boxer girl who was a puppy at the time of this photo (This is Sprout now) Myself and a friend had gone up to another friends house to visit their new addition to the Boxer clan (their 4th) and she was such a bundle of fun. The fact that she happily fell asleep in the arms of someone she had only met an hour earlier really makes this capture special and I had to turn it into a painting.

I captured this photo back in June 2013 when Sprout was a baby and had just joined her new family. There are some images that can be far more effective in black & white and this was one of them.

Framing details:

As this was not a commission, this painting is not framed with a specific frame so samples shown here are ones that I have in the studio.
