The Story Behind Dexter, Tui and Perdy’s Portrait
Heather contacted me in 2016 to commission a portrait of their three beloved Labradors—Dexter, Tui, and Perdy—as a surprise birthday gift for her mother’s 60th birthday. She had a wonderful reference photo of them sitting together, which captured their personalities beautifully.
The portrait was created at 24" x 18", one of my larger sizes, ensuring all three dogs could be drawn in full-body detail. To complete the gift, Heather also commissioned a custom frame so the portrait would be ready to hang immediately upon arrival.
Heather was thrilled when she saw the final drawing, and you can read her feedback below. You can also watch a video of the framed portrait further down!
