The Story Behind Aspen’s Portrait
The photos below show Aspen’s portrait on my plan chest alongside my pencils to help convey its size and detail. These informal shots are often a favourite with clients, offering a peek behind the scenes.
James Mosher from Houston, Texas, contacted me in 2015 to commission a pencil portrait of their beautiful Boston Terrier, Aspen, as a surprise gift for his partner.
The portrait was drawn at 20" x 20" — a bespoke size tailored to suit their home perfectly. I’m always happy to offer custom dimensions in addition to my standard sizes to ensure the composition feels just right.
James was over the moon with the final result, and you can read his feedback below.
