A Pair of Cheeky Pointers

Twiggy and Nancy

I was commissioned in February by a dear friend from school days long ago to complete a portrait of her daughter-in-law's pointers Twiggy and Nancy.

The photo references were taken by my friend's son and smuggled out to me by my friend.

Working under a cloak of secrecy, the portrait was duly delivered in time for the birthday surprise and apparent delight of all concerned.

It was such an honour and pleasure to complete this commission which was not without it's little difficulties, not least the fact that the two dogs were photographed separately and so I had to use quite a lot of imagination to put them together in the work.
