About the Dog Portrait Commission of Daisy
Mary Jones, USA, contacted me in 2015 to commission a portrait of her daughter’s dog, Daisy, as a surprise gift. She ordered a **20 x 16-inch** portrait to match another painting they had in their home, which was displayed on an easel.
Mary sent me a number of photos of Daisy on a CD via FedEx. It’s incredible how quickly technology has moved on—I no longer even have a CD-ROM drive! These days, clients share large files through platforms like Dropbox. Upon reviewing the photos, I picked out one that stood out beautifully for a portrait. Luckily, it was Mary’s favorite too!
Daisy was such a joy to draw—I enjoyed every minute of it. Mary emailed me some beautiful photos of the portrait once it was framed, and they are fabulous! Below, you can also read testimonials from Mary and see what the framer said about the portrait.
