‘Golden Doodle by the River – Pet Portrait’

A custom pet portrait commissioned to celebrate a beloved golden doodle in his favourite walking spot by the river.

Set against a richly textured landscape where soft purples and lilacs contrast with warm autumn tones, this piece captures both the joyful spirit of the dog and the emotional connection to place. His curly fur is rendered with expressive brushwork and layered textures to reflect warmth, personality, and movement.

The second image shows the original sketch - a glimpse into the early stage of the illustration process, where composition and emotion begin to take shape.

This portrait blends memory, landscape, and character into a heartfelt keepsake full of life.
