About the Commission of Rusty
Verity contacted me at the start of 2019 to commission a pencil drawing of their family dog, Rusty, as a birthday gift for her husband.
Rusty is nine years old and was rescued from a shelter as a puppy of unknown parentage after being found abandoned in Mississippi. Verity had taken some absolutely wonderful photos of Rusty, and I couldn’t wait to get started on the portrait.
The chosen portrait size was 20 x 16 inches, which was perfect for Rusty as a larger breed. This size allowed me to include plenty of detail in the drawing.
The portrait was framed by Verity’s local framer, and if you scroll down, you can see a beautiful photo of the framed portrait displayed in Verity’s home with Rusty lying beneath it. Verity’s husband was delighted, and you can read some of her testimonials below.
