This is superb Andrea, beautifully done.

They all look very happy, smiles all round! Lovely painting Andrea.

This is lovely. A great portrait and so well painted, no wonder they were pleased.

A lovely painting and a great portrait with those beautiful dogs Andrea. The recipient must have been delighted.

Thank you so much Paul :- ) very kind of you!

Thank you Carole :- ) I am happy to say I was smiling too when they said they liked it! Always a nerve-racking moment showing the client what you have painted :-O

Thank you Heather, always so lovely to hear from you :- )

Thank you so much Anne, very much appreciated!

Thank you Carole, yes I am happy to say both the client and the sitter were very happy with this commission - a lovely relief as I had to combine two photos to achieve this image. One where the dogs were looking away but the sitter looking straight at us, the second where the dogs were looking at us, but not the sitter! Thanks for commenting :-)

What a fabulous painting, everyone looks happy.

Thank you so much Carolyn :- ) very kind of you to comment.

I am very happy to say both parties were pleased with the outcome :-)
