PORTRAIT COMPLETED:
December 2017

Tank's dad lives in the USA and he found my work through Facebook and mutual Boxer dog owner friends. He asked me to create a portrait of his best friend Tank, and provided a few photos for reference.

Reference image:

One of the photos I received of Tank stood out which made it perfect for his painting. His dad (owner) sent me a few photos of Tank for additional detail and colour, but I didn't need to use them as the initial image was just right. It was a large digital image which allows me to zoom in to view the small detail and it was taken in daylight so I could see Tank's natural colour.

Customer Testimonial:

" Hello Karen, I just received the painting, it is absolutely beautiful. It arrived unscathed, and thank you so much, this will be hung on my wall, with great pride. You have a god given talent, that is heartfelt. You make a lot of people happy, so we can keep our beautiful babies forever in our hearts and we can see them every day and give us a smile....Thank you, Tank you!!! "

Framing:

The customer ordered a frame with his painting. A wooden moulding called Grassmoor was chosen as it complimented Tank's warm brown tones.
