Pencil Horse Portrait
Welcome to my pencil horse portrait of Flash, a stunning memorial commission for a returning client in Australia. Jo had previously commissioned some dog portraits, and this time she asked me to create a large-scale pencil drawing of her beloved horse Flash, who had sadly passed away. The final artwork measured 30 x 40 inches—one of the largest sizes I offer—and was drawn by hand using graphite pencil on Italian Fabriano paper, making it a true centerpiece and a lasting tribute. It was an honor to work on such a meaningful portrait; scroll down to see photos.
About the Horse Portrait Commission of Flash
Jo commissioned me to create a **30 x 40-inch pencil drawing** of her beautiful horse, Flash, who passed away very suddenly in 2018.
Jo and her family were devastated by the loss and wanted a portrait that would allow them to treasure his memory forever. The large format of the portrait allowed me to capture an incredible level of detail.
30 x 40 inches is one of the **largest sizes I offer**, and it was a joy to work on. Thankfully, my drawing desk is just big enough to accommodate large commissions like this!
The portrait made its way safely to Australia, and Jo and her daughter emailed me when it arrived. Scroll down to read her heartfelt message and see more photos of the finished artwork.
The Horse Pet Portrait in Pencil
I took a number of photos of the portrait before packing and sending it to Australia. Since it was such a large size, it was a challenge to photograph. The close-up shots below allow you to see the details more clearly. Large drawings are best viewed from a few paces away to appreciate the full effect, but they also contain plenty of intricate details up close.
