I have finished this portrait earlier in the week. I was so busy in the studio with all my commissions, that I didn’t scan it straight away. Here it is though, I think it is looking quite well. I hope the client will like it. I just love labradors (well, of course, I have one too :)). This is a portrait of three black ones called Pippa, Kohla and Murphy. Kohla is the mother of the other two. I thought it was lovely to have them all in the same portrait. The drawing is drawn with graphite pencils on paper and it is 35 x 25 cm (14 x 10 inches) in size. I have a mount ready to go for it and I will mount it as soon as I hear from the client.
I am now working away on another portrait in pencil. It is a lovely vintage wedding portrait. It was commissioned as a present for the bride who is celebrating a wonderful 70th Birthday next week. Unfortunately her husband has passed away only recently, so the portrait will be a wonderful reminder of their life together. This is a present from her daughter. I will be finishing off this portrait over the weekend and post the scan when finished. I have one more portrait to do before Easter and it is a very interesting one of a guitarist.
