Tommy

This portrait is a wedding gift for a couple of their dog Tommy.  He is another dog that I have never met and needed to rely on photos for reference.  As it was a surprise the only photographs available were from a cell phone.  I find cell phone pics are grainy and don’t print very well so I was a little concerned how the portrait would turn out.  However I’m happy to say the couple are quite pleased with it!  Tommy seems like a really nice easy-going fellow as evident in his photos.  I especially liked the exasperated expressions he had when dressed for Halloween!

This is a watercolour painting on Arches 140lb cold pressed paper.

    He’s lovely! Didn’t realize it was watercolor until I read it. The blending is exquisite, and his expression really comes through.

      Thank you Alli! He is indeed a lovely boy from what I’ve heard and seen in his photos.
