Pencil Pet Portraits By Melanie Phillips

Drawn By: Melanie Phillips
Size: 16" x 12" (40 x 35cm)
Medium: Pencil Drawing on Italian Fabriano Paper
Year Drawn: 2009
Client: Commission USA
Testimonial: Melanie, He looks so handsome (somehow he looks happier than another lab on your web site wearing a uniform) but that's my opinion! It's the kind of picture I like. It makes you think of pleasant places and companionship, almost gets me teary. I wouldn't change any of the picture. I'll look forward to getting it in the email thanks so much..
-------------------------
I'm thinking K-dog will have his picture hung next to a mounted duck hanging on a wall. pretty much every day, at some point, he goes over & jumps up & down woofing at the duck, like he figures it needs to get retrieved again, I guess.
----------------------
hello Melanie,
The sketch arrived in the mail today and it looks great. I'll be anxious to see it framed & I'll send you a photo when it's done thanks again.

Hello Melanie,
So I did not wait, like I said i was going to. I had the sketch framed already. The photo is not likely the best looking because I kept getting reflections. I replaced the matting with one a little more yellowish - had more of a dried grass color I thought. The frame is a blue/grey speckled sort of barn board looking color. 2nd photo is where I hung the sketch, next to a mounted duck & old calls. If you're interested- the mounted duck was done by a guy locally. he does very high quality taxidermy, he was commissioned by the US Dept. of Fish & Wildlife to do some work & also did some to go to the Simthsonian. So I figure K-Dog's picture was deserving of some good company.Take Care Craig |
