Labrador Retrievers

I have had so many commissions for portraits of Labradors in the past few weeks, I thought I would dedicate a blog especially to them.  Here are a few from the past two years…

Pastel 12″ x 10″ / 30 x 25cm, 2017

George is an incredibly handsome rescued Chocolate Lab.  The reference photo for this portrait was by Penelope Malby.

‘Alfie’ Pastel 12″ x 12″ / 30 x 30cm, 2017

Taz’s portrait was commissioned back in 2014.

I really enjoyed Blondie’s portrait – that tongue!

‘Ned’, Pastel 16″ x 12″ / 40 x 31cm

Eleven year old gorgeous Buddy from 2014.

I loved Misty’s reference photograph, the client suggested including the branches and red berries and I think it has worked really well.

This is a portrait of Molly, Misty’s sister, from 2018. Pastel 16″ x 12″ / 40 x 31cm.

‘Digby and Angus’, Pastel 16″ x 12″ / 40 x 31cm 2017

Chudley and his favourite red ball, 2014.
