Iggy

Iggy is a Boston Terrier and was commissioned by Sean as a birthday present for his wife.

Check him out! What a gorgeous smiling boy, he is such a cutie! A real pleasure to do, also quite a tricky portrait with the fur detail on the face. Light fur over dark can be quite challenging at times, especially a short, smooth coat. It came out well though, and I went with a nice light blue/grey background as I find it really compliments black and white pets. I did think of going with the green, but it was a bit overwhelming on quite a large portrait.

Sean and his wife loved the portrait and an extract from his email can be read below.

Client Testimonial from Sean

“It did turn up and it looks fantastic. I let my wife open it to see it for the first time and we love it. I think people will mistake it for a photo because it looks so real. The hair detail is almost like you can reach out and touch him. We are really happy with it. Iggy has been staring at it this morning, haha. Thanks so much!”
