About the Horse Pencil Pet Portrait Commission of Al
Donna Westbrook, UK, enquired to ask if I would be able to draw portrait of her husbands horse Al. The surprise portrait was for her husbands birthday in 2012. Donna only had a few photos of Al as he had sadly passed away that year, so it was a challenge to find one that would work for a pencil portrait.
I chose the best photo from the selection creating a new background for Al out in the field where he loved to be, in a serene landscape with trees and fields. I also created the portrait at a bespoke size, as the composition was much longer and thinner than the 16 x 12 size Donna requested. So as you can see form the finished artwork it was an 18 x 10 pencil drawing. I am always happy to create bespoke sizes for my clients!
Donna called me to thank me personally for completing the portrait as she knew that her photos were so limited. She was simply delighted to that I was able to create a portrait for her and her family.
