Ollie - Yorkshire Terrier

When my client commissioned a portrait of the much-loved Yorkshire Terrier, Ollie, she sent me a wonderful selection of photographs to choose from. Each one captured a different aspect of his charming personality, but one image in particular immediately stood out.

​

Photographed sitting beside the Christmas tree, Ollie looked completely at ease, his bright expression and inquisitive nature beautifully captured in a warm, festive setting. The composition had a natural charm that I knew would translate perfectly into a portrait, creating a painting that was both personal and full of character.

​

Using professional PanPastels, I carefully developed the rich textures of his silky coat and the gentle expression that made him so endearing. My aim was to create more than just a faithful likeness, capturing the warmth and personality that made Ollie such a treasured companion.

​

The finished portrait was commissioned as a special gift for my client's sister, making it a thoughtful and deeply personal keepsake that I hope will be enjoyed for many years to come.
