showing the finished painting and the original photograph






















COMMISSION - 14"x18":    The photograph submitted by the client with the finished portrait for comparison. I had to remove the bridle to show the bone structure of the cheek and lower the mouth to a more natural position.
The over-exposed 'redness' of the photographs also had to be reduced. I always ask for the client to indicate which photo best demonstrates coat colour ........ now you can see why.
