The Story Behind Bryher’s Portrait
Drinda and her family have commissioned us many times over the years to paint their beautiful Labradors. This most recent portrait was of their Black Labrador Bryher, who sadly passed away in 2018. Drinda wanted a special oil painting to remember him by and to add to their growing collection.
The reference photo used for the pose was lovely. Although there was a hand over Bryher’s back in the original image, Nicholas was able to use additional photos to complete the area accurately and naturally.
The portrait was painted at 16 x 12 inches, a size chosen to match the other portraits Drinda has commissioned. As you’ll read below, the family were delighted, and we’re hoping one day to see a photo of all the portraits displayed together in their home.
