This is another Christmas commission I have completed in December. It is of Ripley, the beautiful golden labrador retriever. The painting was painted with acrylics on canvas 40 x 40 cm in size and it was given as a Christmas present to the client’s wife. She was very happy with the finished painting and wrote me a lovely email on Christmas Day:
I wanted to thank you so much for your beautiful portrait of Ripley.
David and our girls made me close my eyes and walked me into the sitting room and when I opened my eyes and saw it I burst into tears. You captured him so perfectly, his expression and all the details, his beautiful colouring, just everything. It was a wonderful Christmas surprise and I will treasure it. It has pride of place, beautifully framed I might add, on our sitting room wall above the piano. And he looks beautiful.”
