Welcome to my Boston Terrier pet portrait of Aspen! This was a fantastic drawing to complete, with a great reference photo that allowed me to capture Aspen’s personality and character. Scroll down to read more about the commission and see additional photos of the portrait.
I often photograph my portraits with my pencils on my plan chest to help provide a sense of scale. Below, you can see some of these images of Aspen’s portrait, showcasing its details before framing.
James Mosher from Houston, Texas, contacted me in 2015 to commission a portrait of their stunning Boston Terrier, Aspen. I was delighted to draw Aspen, especially after seeing the wonderful reference photo James provided.
The portrait was a surprise gift for his partner and James wanted a large 20" x 20" drawing to display in their home. I was happy to create a bespoke custom size drawing, which was the perfect size and shape for Aspen.
Many of my pet portrait commissions are custom-sized. While I list standard prices on my pricing page, I’m always happy to work with clients to create the perfect size for their space. Below, you can read James’ response upon seeing the final drawing.
"Melanie,
Thank you so much!"
