Friends of ours lost their dog TJ over the Christmas holidays following a short illness. I drew this picture of her for them from a photograph, came out pretty well considering its my first piece of artwork in years. This photograph doesn’t do it many favours -taken before it was quite finished, it also loses some of the detail/colour range of the original, but gives some indication of how it would finally look. It will be framed and mounted on a wall with some other portraits I did for them in the past, its drawn a little loosely as it will be viewed from a distance of several feet.
