About the Horse Portrait Commission of Jenkins
Jo Greenland contacted me in 2014 looking to commission a portrait of her father’s retired police horse, Jenkins. He was a much-loved and cherished horse, and Jo told me when sending her photos for the portrait:
“I know you must see some stunning horses, but that’s what Mr. Jenkins is to me. He is a retired police horse and a true gent. He was the last horse my Dad rode at the age of 82 before his sudden death three months later. Dad was in the mounted police for 32 years and taught me to ride.”
With this in mind, I knew I had to do Jenkins proud and put all my effort into creating a truly stunning portrait for Jo and her family of such a special horse. I created the portrait at **20 x 16 inches** in graphite pencil.
The portrait was framed in a beautiful pine frame, which worked so well for Jenkins. If you have a horse similar to Jenkins and would like a portrait of them, you are more than welcome to contact me at any time.
