Animal portraits
 

My daughter is once again doing portraits of your favorite dog, cat, horse, alligator snapping turtle, etc. many of you have commissioned these I. The past. PM me if interested. Here’s a sample of her work.

Madeline did a drawing of one of my Border Collies, and a friend from Scotland, who knows her stuff, used the term 'Exceptional', when I showed it to her.

I love the beautiful portrait she did on my Gracie…


.

That is really nice Dean!

I highly recommend her artistic skills. She did my Star and Cody, brothers from different litters and the result was more than outstanding. I will treasure it forever. In order for this to fit correctly here I had to square up the original picture, which cut off some of Stars head. She used the photo to draw from.

Love this. First it's the guns, then the dogs, then the artwork. My continuum at least!
Your daughter has great talent.

Beautiful work!

Well, I’m impressed! Just received an email from Mikes daughter, Madeline. She’s completed her commission of the three dogs that I carried my old Trojan behind for the last 30 years.

Working only from photos I emailed her not much longer than a week or so ago. Nice gal. And very talented.

I hope my engraver who is honoring them on same said Trojan renders images half as pleasing. No pressure Bert! Lol.

Thanks Mike, for bringing her talents to our attention. And thank you Madeline, for capturing their likenesses so faithfully.

So good to keep them alive forever as works of art.

Thanks everyone for the kind sentiments. I’ll pass this on to Madeline. It will make her very happy!

Here’s a portrait by Madeline one of our members allowed to be shared

And here’s another

The bottom sketch is of my Springer Spaniels Belle and Scout and my Lab June. All gone now. Those 3 dogs were all amazing bird dogs that each brought hundreds of birds to the bag. The top sketch is of my English Setters Thicket and Sunny and my English Pointer Dottie. Thicket is gone but Sunny and Dottie are my A team now and leading me through the grouse and woodcock covers from Maine to Minnesota and the prairies and
Uplands of Montana, Kansas and Oklahoma. Madeline did a wonderful job of capturing the essence of these beautiful creatures.

Wonderfully done!

English setters and pointers are wonderful bird dogs. My dad raised and trained English setters. He always want some pointers in the mix but my mother object to the sight of their bare rear ends. No kidding.
